The Registration District is Cardiff and the Sub-district is Caerphilly. The Census records indicate the birth place as EGLWYSILAN in Glamorgan. Can anyone identify these places and advise if they are one and the same place, Ponty... is a suburb or street in Egl.... or are they two completely places with no connection. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. David Fletcher
