Hi! I have some letters in my posession that talk of a "Aunt Mary of Crinow" or in other places, Mary Crinw. Does anyone know where that is? One of the letters reads as follows: "Aunt of Crinow has made a sale there last Monday week and has gone to live in her new Villa fronting Sheky(?) Howell's Turnpike gate Narberth, (near Greenway Vack Railway Station - which has been opened abt. 3 months since from Whitland to Greenway Vach. Templetown Tenby and Penbroke Dock... Harriet...Uncle of Penbroke Dock...Ben and his family...Aunt Phebe Theravon (Aheravon?) paralized 12 months...." Can anyone shed light on any of this for me? Are these places anywhere near Login Wales? Kilymaenyllwyd? Merthyr-Tidfyl? Also, is Warriet a common name or nic-name? The letters were written in the mid-late 1800s. Thank you! LeaMarie

Lea Marie, The railway line you write of is the Pembroe & Tenby Railway which opened up between Whoitland and Tenby in August 1866. The railway station is Narberth which is a little way outside the main township of Narberth (not much) but like all railway companies, they built the station next to the line, not the town or village! Crinow is a parish just to the east-south-east of Narberth proper. Hope this helps.

LeaMarie Hello LeaMarie I have found just one example of a Christian name like Warriett and that is in the 1891 census - 11 year old Wariotte G. Morgans living at Rhos, Llandewi Velfrey, just to the east of Narberth. His father Morris Morgans (76 years old) was born in Cilymaenllwyd. His wife Mary aged 40 is presumably his second wife. In 1891 there was a Greenway Farm and a Greenway House in Narberth. Greenway Farm is still in existence - in Station Road, Narberth - less than 400 yards from Narberth Railway Station. Login is a village in the parish of Cilymaenllwyd (Carmarthenshire) which is about 5-7 miles north east of Narberth (Pembrokeshire). Merthyr Tydfil is in the county of Glamorgan about 50 miles to the east. Gerry Lewis
