Title: Nant y Dderwen, Llanddewi Brefi
Post by: nigelw on Tuesday 08 June 10 11:07 BST (UK)
Farmhouse buildings called Nant y Dderwen in Prysg and Carfan, LLanddewi Brefi  I think were once known as Efail Fach.  I'm tracing a John Davies, labourer son of John Davies, labourer who lived there at the time of his marriage in 1838 to Rachel Edwards, born Nancwnlle, Father David Edwards, Labourer

I've stayed in Llanddewi Brefi in the past and visited several farms, but I don't recognise those names, sorry.

Probably your best bet is to contact the Ceredigion Library Service and ask about local history archives.

why ask the library service when you can contact the archives?  ???

Because the library service may have records of their own too.

only one library in the county mentions resources on the website - the one in Aberystwyth
