Hello List, My GGF's service records gave his mother as next-of-kin living at 3 Min Y Don Terrace, Llandudno, N Wales about 1879-1888 but I have had no success in finding the place. There is a Min Y Don Cottage on the 1881 census but I do not believe this is correct for me. But there is a Min Y Don in Penrhyn Bay and that leads to my requests. 1. Would Penrhyn Bay and Llandudno be described as separate places in 1880 or part of one community? 2. Would it be possible for someone familiar with Penrhyn Bay to confirm the actual address of Min Y Don (St. Rd. Terr. etc.) and if there is (or was) a number 3? Kind regards, Roger Jones Holland I have transcribed for FreeCen. http://www.freecen.org.uk
Hi, Min y Don is a very popular name for a residence near the watefront in many towns and villages in Wales. Literally translated it is EDGE OF THE WAVE. Although I do not have much knowledge of the geography of the Llandudno Area. I would say that you are looking for a street of that name and would tend to ignore the Min y Don Cottage. Sorry that I can not be more helpful. T.
