I am looking for the location of 2 address one in Rhostryfan and one in Rhosgadfan as follows
Penralltfawr, Rhostryfan ( Thomas Jones)
Hafod Cyffudd / Cyffordd Rhosgadfan ( William Owens)
I would appreciate any information regarding the families on behalf of my mother who is compiling a family tree. We have had the information from a marriage certificate from 1890.
May thanks on advance for your help.

This is Thomas Jones in 1891 at Pen Rallt Fawr, Tyn Rhosydd, Llanwnda, Carnarvon, but I can't yet find William Owens. Do you know his age?

I can't find William Owens either, do you have anything else about him - was he a witness on the marriage or a father?

At the foot of the map, about half way along is "Pen-yr-allt" (minus the "fawr").
On the 1991 Census the 2 addresses following "Pen 'r allt fawr" (Thomas Jones) are "Gors goch" and "Bryn Cadfan". On the map you can see a "Gors-goch-uchaf" and "Bryn Cadfan" right next to "Pen-yr-allt"..

On the earlier map posted there is a "Hafod Griffith" - just east "of Pen-yr-allt"
On this slightly later map it is shown as "Hafod Ruffydd"

How "legible" is the "Hafod Cyffudd" address you have posted?
