To make things rather easier, "Old Oven" is mentioned in the 1891 census return for Uzmaston between the returns for "Picton Creamston" and "Church Hill". Even more fortunately the O.S. Explorer map of South Pembrokeshire pinpoints the place exactly - O.S. reference SM 970153, almost exactly half a mile north of the village of Uzmaston and a mile east of Haverfordwest St. Thomas church. 1891 residents - David [41, ag.lab., b, Llangwm] and Elizabeth [41, b. Freystrop] James and presumably Elizabeth's brother Peter Sutton [16, printer's apprentice, b. Freystrop]. Gerry Lewis
