Title: Where is Rhyd Loyw ?
Post by: JONSUE on Friday 28 June 13 22:59 BST (UK)

My ancestors include a family (Father Robert Lewis b 1741) where some (6) children were born between 1772 and 1786 at a place called Rhyd Loyw at Cerrigydrudion. I cannot locate that place on any map or find any reference to it elsewhere.  :(  Can anyone help please?  Younger children were born at Pant Y Griafolen, Park, Llechwedd Llyfn and Craig Erchen all of which I have found. 

The father Robert was born at Nant Y Rhyd, Cerrigydrudion which is another place I can't find; Help again !!  :)  The mother was Margaret nee Davies born at Ty'n Y Gilfach. (That one I have !!) 

Thanks a lot  John

It's probably a farm. I'd recommend using

http://www.bing.com/maps/

Which has OS maps available on the drop down where it says road.

Old OS maps are also at:
