References to "Henshop, Dyffryn", "Henshop Dyffryn Aderdudwy" in the newspapers. Dyffryn a stone's throw from Llanenddwyn.
Trust we are not talking Dyffryn, Cardiff. What is the Reg District on birth certificate?

Do you have access to Anc? This is the Henshop in 1871 in Llanenddwyn https://www.rootschat.com/links/01tbm/

Thanks , it is Dyffryn in Merionethshire .I think they had moved to the level crossing at Llanbedr by 1871 . Wondered if there was a Henshop in Llanbedr , they seem everywhere

Henshop is literally Hen Siop meaning old shop ! I'mm sure practically every town, village and hamlet has one or something similar.
