    3. Gareth, Lynne I instinct tells me that the Map is not 100% accurate. I doubt that there were 0% Welsh Speakers in the South of the County in 1892. The 1891 Census was the first that asked a question about the ability to speak Welsh. I have requested access to data, that shows the percentage of Welsh Speakers broken down by Parish. I should have access in the next few days, and will report back. The bulk of the population of Pembrokeshire, lived in South Pembs, rather than the Rural North, and the % speakers quoted for Pembrokeshire in 1891, do not appear to add up if there were no Welsh Speakers in Haverfordwest, Milford, Pembroke, Pembroke Dock and Narberth, and surrounding areas which were the major population centres, and together with the other Parishes below the Landsker accounted for 50% or more of the total County Population.
