Hi, can anybody help with the location of this property please. It’s where my ancestors lived in 1841, 1861 census. Thanks

I have looked at online maps
https://maps.nls.uk/view/135190825 (from 1924).
https://maps.nls.uk/view/101604202 and https://maps.nls.uk/view/101604025 (from 1888).
I've not spotted it, but I might have missed it. Many of the houses are named, although a few are not. Can you see the names of the houses listed on the Census entries (both before, and after their names)? You might be able to find the neighbouring houses on the maps, which might help you locate Tyn y Cae.
Although, they might not have literally had neighbouring houses. The name "Tyn y Cae" means "The house in the field", but finding nearby properties would help.

Thanks for your reply Trystan. I did come across that OS map and couldn't see it anywhere, I reckon it's no longer standing or is an old ruin in a field....many are around there, I have land in the area and never come across it.

Incidentally, they could easily drop the "y" so it could be Tyn Cae. I couldn't find that either.
Yes, so looking at the census will be the way to go then now. :)

Thank you :)

The Historic Welsh placenames list records a field called Tyn y Cau in Rhoscolyn - too much of a coincidence? Very near the green marker is a small enclosure which could be a house site?

Thank you, yes I came across that one. I’ll go exploring one day and see if I can find it, I imagine it might just be that little ruin that maybe once was a dwelling, there’s a few around there.

It sounds like its on the bodier estate the road go's to silver bay but then go's to the left for bryn bar which was a crossing for the mail coach and had a customs officer station there

1841 and 1851 at Tyn y Cae, Rhoscolyn lived William Edwards and his wife Catherine
Are these your ancestors ?

Yes, 4th great grandparents on my maternal grandmothers side. I’ve hit a wall with William Edwards though, no idea of parents, would you happen to know?

Hi Whiteblazes
My ancestors also come from this village, but sorry not able to help with your family.
Agree with Hanes Teulu that Tyn Y Cae is next to Pen yr Allt.
Abodes on the other side being Maesmawr and a Bodior Farm

Thank you. My grandparents were both Owen, but nain goes back to Dolwyddelan and daid Rhoscolyn .
I’ll go for a wander when I have a chance, and see if I can locate anything in that area. I was there not so long ago but never knew about it then.
