Many thanks for your time on the records. I drove up Sychnant on Thursday and was surprised how Mochdre and the Flagstaff dominated the horizon. Having looked also on the IGI records i found  Mary and William Davies married 1814 living in Abergwyngregyn. This may or may not be. What is recorded are the sons who were all born in Mochdre, Llandrillo yn Rhos the first one in 1818. So we know he took up residence around this time.
Just moving on i am listing the families of Mochdre across all census 1841 - 1901 so please feel free to contact me should you need research in and on the village.
Please keep my enquiry on the back burner so to speak and once again many thanks for your attention.
Regards
PS William Davies died 1873 aged 80 so birth year 1793

Thankyou for the information. The White Horse Inn was my wife,s family throughout the nineteenth century.
I have found something new on the Blacksmith of Mochdre by the way  ;)
In 1802 the Smithy was run by a Thomas Williams.  In 1811 our William and Mary Davies had their first son William born Mochdre.
So we can now pinpoint their journey from Dwygylfylchi to Mochdre between the two dates ( more likely towards the 1811 end.
I suppose i am still trying to find a good reason why they left for Mochdre. Word of mouth would no doubt have given William and Mary the oppurtunity i guess.
I was brought up in Mochdre and remember the days of Ian Davies (no connection) at the Mountain View and the introduction of scampi and chips in the basket. 😊Good old days.
Regards  :-*

Jane born 1827 was the wife of John born 1819.  After Jane died in 1892 her son William who was a blacksmith took over the White Horse Inn.
John 1819 is the son of William born 1793 Dwygylfylchi arrived in Mochdre sometime between 1815 and 1819 most probably as a ' trained' blacksmith. So i am assumming he served his apprentice in Aber albeit Dwygylfylchi and/ or district.
All good stuff.
Incidently the White Horse Inn is the forerunner of the Mountain View Hotel.
Regards :o

I think you may have struck a chord here with Abergwyngregyn as opposed to Aber. I will now work on the basis that William Davies must have received his blacksmith apprenticeship in the village prior to moving to Mochdre to set up a new life which spanned nearly 60 years.
Thank you so much for your time on this subject. Very much appreciated.
Kind regards  :-*

Hi Jo
Thank you for responding first and foremost. William Davies birth year has been caculated across 3 census viz 1841 to 1861. His birth based on age is 1793 - 1795 born Dwygylfylci
He arrived in Mochdre i suspect between 1815 onwards. I know he was the village blacksmith and eventually inn keeper of the White Horse Inn an ancient inn dealing with horse and coaches and drovers in the area. What is fascinating is the move out of the area from Caernarvonshire to Denbighshire. His wife was Mary born Aber c 1795.
Jo. I do apologise William is definitely Dwygylfylchi and not Aber. Senior moment.

Can anyone assist please.
I am trying to understand and trace the parents of William Davies born Abergwyngregin c1795 who married Mary ? Born Aber 1795. They left Aber for Mochdre, Conwy where they ran the White Horse Inn along with the smithy.
Was there any reason why this family should leave the area and move from Gwynedd to Denbighshire i suspect between 1820 - 1840 ?
