Anglesey / Re: Residence on 1820 baptism record at Lletroed Chapel
« on: Saturday 24 August 24 14:13 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to you all for your suggestions.

I think that the residence 'Tyn Y Waun' on the 1823 baptism is probably the correct one, and that the entry 'Wayn' on the 1820 baptism is probably an attempt at specifying the same place.
I can't find a likely hamlet/village of that name in the area so I think it is most likely a house name.

Thanks again for all the replies.

Anglesey / Re: Residence on 1820 baptism record at Lletroed Chapel

Thanks for your reply BumbleB.

Sadly the map did not help in working out the residence.
However, I think I have stumbled on a better clue.

There is another baptism record in 1823 at the same chapel which seems to be clearly for a sibling of my direct ancestor, and on that image the residence is shown as 'Tyn y Waun'.

Searching for that name at least returns some hits, and seems more likely to be correct than the name in the earlier baptism, but I have still not found my ancestors place of residence.

Anglesey / Residence on 1820 baptism record at Lletroed Chapel
« on: Friday 23 August 24 14:38 BST (UK)  »
I am looking at a baptism record for a direct ancestor, Elizabeth Williams.
The baptism is on 17th December 1820 at Lletroed Chapel, Anglesey. The entry on Wales, Select Births and Baptisms (1541 - 1907) gives the baptism place as 'Nebo Calvinistic Methodist, Llanwenllwyfo, Anglesey, Wales'. The record on England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers (1567 - 1970) shows it as 'Baptism Place Llelbroed Chapel, Anglesey, Wales
Denomination Calvinistic Methodist.
The accompanying image shows that it is actually Lletroed Chapel.
All of this is great, and very helpful to me.
The bit I am asking for help with is the parents' residence as recorded on the image.
It looks to me to say 'Wayn'.
I can't find any location of that or a similar name in the area: I suppose it could just be the name of a house.
Does the name mean anything to anyone with knowledge of the area?

Staffordshire / Re: Cauldon Low or Cauldon Lowe? Bangor Row or Bangor Terrace?

Sounds like the naming of the ‘street’ changed over the years - or perhaps it was just a change of census enumerator.
As for Cauldon Low(e), it seems you can choose your own spelling.
Thanks for your help.

I know that in 1881 they were still in Anglesey, and by 1889 they had moved to Staffordshire, where they stayed until some time in the 1920s.
Even if I look at Google maps, it calls the village 'Cauldon Low' but also marks 'Cauldon Lowe Village Hall'.

Staffordshire / Cauldon Low or Cauldon Lowe? Bangor Row or Bangor Terrace?
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 11:27 BST (UK)  »
My ancestors were amongst those who moved from the copper mines of Anglesey to work in the limestone quarry at Cauldon Low - should it be 'Cauldon Lowe'? They lived on Bangor Row, or should it be called 'Bangor Terrace'? In each case, both names seem to be used interchangeably, but which names / spellings are correct?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry Thrulines
« on: Saturday 17 June 23 07:14 BST (UK)  »
My instinct is that it is far more likely that Ancestry's software is deficient than that you have done anything wrong. Their main interest is very much in selling subscriptions, upgrades and DNA tests. The Traits upgrade which they seem to be pushing hard is about as scientific as Family Fortunes.
I spent years submitting frequent problem reports telling them that the indexes to many 1861 Anglesey census records were clearly wrong, but never got more than standard responses saying that they would submit the report to the appropriate team. Often, many remained wrong years later.
Unlike most testing companies, they refuse to allow customers to upload tests from other testing companies to their site, and they do not allow testers to see details of the segments on which they match with other testers, whether or not both testers consent to this.
I have found that Thrulines is sometimes useful, but that its suggestions are sometimes nonsense, showing many logical inconsistencies.

Thanks for the feedback, Harry.
