Hello
Has anyone come across a Blaen y Ffynon, Llangendeirne(?). I am trying to locate a Davies family who lived there in census records. There are 2 David Davies’ baptised at this address in 1848 in Llangendeirne Parish. (See attached) David Davies 31 Dec 1848, son of Thomas and Eliza (states born 03 Mar 1848) and David Davies / Meyrick baptised 08 Sep 1848, son of Humphrey Meyrick (Pont Henry) and Elizabeth Davies (Blaen y Ffynon). Humphrey I can trace
Thank you

Excellent! Thank you very much. Somehow for the 1851 entry Ancestry has managed to transcribe Dd as Margaret!

Wow! Even more excellent work, thank you again. Could you please provide direct links to the 1841 and 1851 records you reference for Blaenyfynnon. The HO107 etc. references are great but I have no idea how to use these on Ancestry. Thank you

I don't use A* and am not familiar with search fields required. Will this deliver?
