Do you have any idea where Ffrydwen is? I've Googled it and just get one entry in Welsh which I can't understand!!

[hanes teulu]

1851 Census  ref HO107 2509  34  4 

Thomas Evans, Head, Widower, age 30, Shoemaker, born Llangwm, Denbighshire

Address Ty Crydd (appropriate!), Llan & Foel, Corwen

[hanes teulu]

1841 Census ref HO107  1402  37  9

Thomas Evans, 25, Shoe m.
Jane Evans, 20
Evan Evans, 3mths
Address - Shop, Cerrigydrudion

The addresses around this census entry compare with the addresses around "Ty Crydd" in the '51 Census.

Note- re. the age 25, allowing for rounding down, this gives a a YoB range 1816- 1812, which doesn't fit the 1819 baptism and 1851 census (age 30). Wondered if the ages had been incorrectly rounded up! Need to cross check other entries.

Ah, I see it now, down the bottom of the page, I have never noticed that before,  mind I usually get distracted by looking at other places on the map.

I went to Llangollen as a child in 1948, it was the first time I had ever been out of the village I was born in, I was captivated by looking at the river from the bridge, I had never seen a river before

I went to school in Llangollen. I must have walked over that bridge nearly every day 

We used to go on school trips to most of the areas that Catherine's ancestors came from - three of my lines came from the the parishes around Bala and Corwen.
