Please help me find an address?

Trying to trace where my great-grandfathers house would have stood (I've been told it's no longer there but I'd like to go & see the area)
On the 1911 Census he was at 29 Bancyfelin/Bankyfelin, Civil Parish - Llanfihangel Abercowin, Carmarthen.
I'm currently in Haverfordwest for a few days & can see there's a Bancyfelin between Carmarthan & St Clears, but also had an idea that Llanfihangel Anercowin was further down near the river?

Help, anyone got a better clue than I?

Looking at the 1907 ordnance survey map it seems that banc-y-felin just falls into llanfihangel parish,
 by the length of a football pitch

In 1907 the map shows the chapel and smithy at the SW end of the village and the road under the railway to the NE of the village with all the dwellings along the street in between .

The railway bridge is in the next parish

On that census list (Enumerators Summary) , if your ancestor was Henry Evans, then next door at 28 Bankyfelin there was an Inn, then the Methodist Chapel, Lanfihangel Abercowin, a blacksmiths and then no 27 so possibly near to the chapel.

In 1901 no 28 Bankyfelin was the Wheats Sheaf Inn probably not there now.

Thanks all, in 1901 he was at #27 - in 1911 he was at #29 (William B Williams) so it's vague anyway just trying to get an idea of where I would go now to be in his locale?

I think that 27/29 Bancyfelin would be near the Methodist Chapel on the St Clears side of Bancyfelin. Looking on 'Streetview', the house before the chapel, on the corner of the side road is called 'Sheaf House' - possibly the old 'Wheatsheaf Inn'? Anyway, there was only one long street in the old Bancyfelin so anywhere near the chapel would be close enough to your ancestor's home. All the new houses have come since Bancyfelin was bypassed in the 1980's.
