Thank you all for your responses! Both of those places aren't very far away from places I've known these particular ancestors to be. If general consensus is that it is Pentre Heilin then I'll happily take that. I have no idea with a lot of old handwriting, especially for Welsh locations!

About asking on the Anglesey board, this snippet appears in the topic I started over there about my ancestor, a kind member who was helping me posted an image asking where people thought it was, but those that helped out on that thread couldn't work it out, there were no responses to that particular reply. I don't wish to overburden Rootschatters if I can help it. 

Thank you all. 

Thank you for your response 

If like the link suggests there are only 3 locations in Anglesey beginning with Pent then I have to agree it is Pentrefelin, with the spelling a little different on the record, I think I can see Pentrefilhin. Wasn't sure of some of the last letters though.

Thank you. 

Posting again here for some help! I realise this thread is rather old now so whether this gets any interest or not, I'm not sure! I've managed to trace a fair amount on the Thomas side, thank you to
everyone on this thread, but having a little trouble with the Williams side.

The Hugh Williams son of Hugh and Mary nee Jones baptised 1814 is not the correct baptism for this Hugh. I followed up this family; father Hugh died in 1835 buried in Llansadwrn, in 1851 census, at the same address of Hugh's death there is a widow Mary Williams, with a unmarried son, Hugh, aged 36, which rules out this family.

I've started looking again after a bit of a break, and I can't convincingly say I have found a baptism for Hugh, but there is one that's caught my eye.

Hugh Williams, son of Hugh Williams, labourer and his wife Ann, born 10 November 1810 in Llandegfan and baptised 13 November 1810.

It caught my eye for several reasons: A) it places Hugh nearer to his wife's age. B) The middle name Ann was the middle name of Hugh's first granddaughter from his son John (Grace Ann). I haven't found anybody else called Ann in this family, and he used other female relatives names when he named his children. C) Llandegfan is where Hugh's granddaughter Grace Ann died in 1893, aged 14. Her obituary had been posted earlier in this thread. This is the only family link I have managed to establish to Llandegfan, but if this baptism is correct for Hugh, it may establish an earlier connection to the area.

Hugh didn't live long enough to record his birthplace on the 1851 census, but may well not have been Llansadwrn. Only problem is, I can't follow up on this family, I haven't been successful in locating a marriage record for Hugh and Ann, or their death records, or any census records, so don't think I can commit to this being the 100% correct baptism. I'm probably missing something simple!

Any help is always appreciated! 

At time of marriage in May 1842 the abodes are written on marriage record.
Grace was at Penrhyn which is on Cemaes Bay Llanbadrig
Not sure what Hugh’s abode was Pentre h??

I was also struggling with that! We know they had a connection to the Llanbadrig area, and the Llansadwrn area, I had a look for place names around there but struggled to find a fit.

The term “pauper” recorded on the census was a little at the discretion of the census enumerator, I think.

Under the provisions of the Poor Law, a pauper was a person having no property or means of livelihood; a person dependent on the charity of others (whether public charity or family).
I think Grace was receiving an income of sorts, from her son once he was earning enough. This was the “annuity” recorded a couple of times – again the census enumerator’s choice.

Thank you! I hadn't known this, but that would definitely explain it.
