    1. [Dyfed] Can't decipher residence in Parish Register entry
    2. Billie R. McNamara
    3. I'm trying to create a possible family group from the Parish Register of Bettws Ifan, and I have found one entry in which I can't read the child's residence. If someone has knowledge of the area and access to FMP or another version of the actual pages, I'd be grateful for a review. 1 Nov 1835 Baptism Mary Anne Davies Daughter of Rachel & John (labourer) Residence looks like it says Blaencwm on Wern land Thanks in advance to anyone who can figure it out or offer insight!

    3. Billie, I agree that it is Blaencwm on Wern Land. I looked at the 1841 census and can find Wern, occupied by John Davies 65 and Jane 55. There are other families with the same address, but I can't see John & Rachel Davies, nor any mention of Blaencwm. Aside - the very next entry in the register after your Mary Anne is John, the son of my 3G grandparents, John and Mary Jones of Parkau. Dai On 20/03/2014 12:58, Billie R.
