Googling finds a Fagwr Place, could that be the second one, even though it doesn't look much like an F. Of course, it could just be that V and F sound similar.  ???

I'm struggling with the first, it does look like it starts with an H, and ends 'prel' or 'prer'.

I realise there's an extra loop/letter, but how about Horeb Road? http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=266818&Y=197985&A=Y&Z=110
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

'Fagwr' would be pronounced 'Vagur' so it might well have been written down phonetically by someone not too familiar with the area - or Welsh pronunciation.

How about Hopnel Parade rather than Road?

Have lived in Morriston for a good few years -  the only places that spring to mind are Fagwr Place, in welsh a single "f" is pronounced as "v", and as Geoff has suggested Horeb Road

Another one here who has lived in Morriston, and I'd agree with Fagwr Place and Horeb Road.  :)

Well Thanks all...
I just spent a few hours searching the 1911 Census and found one party I was looking for listed in Vagwr Place. So I'm guessing it was either renamed since or mispelled..
The other person I'm looking for I cant find yet in 1901 or 1911 under Horeb Road.. Still searching..
Thanks for the help all.. I'll mark this complete...
