Does anyone know if Maseyllan fach in Llangenderne, Carmarthen, Wales still exists. My ancestors John and Rachel Vaughan lived there in the early 1800s, and in October I might be coming to visit. I would love to see where my ancestors lived if it still exists. If so, how do I contact the owners to ask if I can come? I would appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks. Resu.

This old map shows the property https://maps.nls.uk/view/102179723#zoom=5&lat=3694&lon=7500&layers=BT Hopefully this map shows the property side by side with a modern aerial overlay. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=51.8019&lon=-4.2482&layers=6&right=BingHyb It is difficult to tell whether the property still exists but looking at street view the access of the adjoining road no longer exists

Added This is a link to the old tithe maps and scrolling down to number 6 onwards refers to the farm https://places.library.wales/search/52.416/-3.59/8?alt=*%3A*&page=1&refine=&query=&sort=score&order=desc&rows=100&occupier_facet%5B%5D=John+Vaughan
You should be able to find the adjoining farm on google maps which appears to show the farmers and the address of their farm. They may farm the adjoining Maseyllan fach
