Hi all, this here's a bit of 1841 and 51 census from Wales, an area near Dolwyddelan/Bettws-y-Coed. The Williams family is living at a farm called Beudebach? It rings no bells on Google, whereas the neighbouring farm, Penrhiw, gives 18,000 hits and 220 hits when paired with Dolwyddelan. So I'm thinking it might be something else.

Try your luck

Cheers,
China

Could it be Beudfach ?  There's a lot of fachs in Wales!

I'm not sure of the second two letters, China - eu or a w 

 Bwdubach/Bwdybach  or Beudubach or Beudybach I've been looking on some maps but can't find it  or the other farm

Have you found it on the 1861?

I think it's Bwdu (pwdu) meaning spout - so Bwdubach - Little Spout 

No - That means pout or sulk


Now coming around to Bendybach  but not sure - I can't think of any Welsh word that's Beu??

Hi China !!

I wonder if there were any deeds to the farm ?? ...... though knowing your luck - it's probably a welsh phrase meaning "house next to the farm" !!

Typed my interpretation in on google: bach farm Dolwyddelan - I've not heard of this place so I could be a little out... 

It's Beudy Bach Farm?

On this, if you type Beudy Bach Farm into Google Maps there's one Beudy Bach, Pentrefoelas, Betws-y-coed, Conwy LL24, United Kingdom - 11 miles from Dolwyddelan. I don't know if the link is the same place though... but typing the "beudy Bach, Pentrefoelas" into google shows up quite a lot...

Yes, Google "Beudy bach" and you'll get a number of hits - though whether any are relevant, I don't know.

"Beudy" means cow-house or shippon (I think!).

Oh, and does "bach" mean little, small?

"Little Cow-house"?
