I was looking over one of the O/S maps I have and discovered that it included Dolwyddelan! I remembered that I had received an email about it and went back and looked and found that I had not answered your email to me. The map does indeed show Pentre Bont and Pentre Felin. When I was going through the Bishop's Transcripts for the children of William Bellis and his wife Jane Richard each of the christening entries lists their residence as Tuyn y cwm (as best I can make out) it could also be tnyn y cwm. I have been looking on the map but can't seem to find it, do you know where it is? Thank you for your time and help. Gwen Cunningham > Hi Gwen, > > You probably have these as well.
