    3. Hello List,     Has anyone any info on Glynhir Llandybie history?   I have read on internet that it was bought by a Peter Du Boisson  a Hugenot refugee in approx 1685. Also he commenced a knife works nearby and French immigrants came there to  work.  This also would be approx 1685 - 1700.   Being that I am still mystified by one branch of my tree's origins I have commenced to research rather wide ranging historical facts. The tree is "Peregrine" surname and I have found  that many lived in Llandybie area. I found Peregrines in the censuses for that area.   This is a far shot but I am wondering if these Peregrines came over because of Peter du Boisson at Glynhir. My Peregrines were in Pembrokeshire(Eglwyswrw Llanycefn Llandissilio) They were in these places around 1780's.  I am wondering if these people came west from Llandybie to find other work.   I just cannot account for this surname in isolated rural areas.    The family story is that  they came from the continent.   many thanks     Yvonne Evans
