Summershill, Mountain Street, Carnarvon

I think you are right they probably were cousins since from the census both fathers Owen Owen and Thomas Owen were born in the village of Pencarnisiog near Rhosneigr. Hugh was born in Llanidan.

I remember Summerhill and it's location. It was between the old Seiloh chapel and Well street. You would need a pre 1960's map to find it's location
All this area was demolished when the new flyover was constructed in Caernarfon. Summerhill was a large house quite elevated from the road. It had a yard in the front where , if I remember correctly there were lorries.
I also remember a coal yard in mountain street run by Mr Owen . There was a large wooden door to the yard and Mr Owen and his son ran the business in the 50's and 60's.  I hope that's of some help to you.

Gwyneth,

Wow, thank you so much.

Hugh and Janet Ellen Owen lived Beulah Square 1927 onwards, but looks like  when she became quite ill she was looked after at the home of Lewis and Kate Owen - this is where she died in 1932.

I have stayed close to the start of the flyover, in a lovely guest house opposite a church, near the roundabout.

Thank you for your  memories.

Following Gwyneth's post about the location, does the attached map help to pinpoint it?

I'm hoping this link will work. It's to a site showing side by side an 'old' map and a current Google Earth satellite view of same area. Note that the cursors on both more or less match which means if you move the cursor on the Google Earth to a particular location it shows that location on the 'old' map
You can also zoom in and out.

Edit: Yes, it works.

David and Gwyl,

Thank you for your help and interest; it certainly does help me.
Glenys.
I have found several trees on Anc***** for Lewis Owen and his family; found that he and his wife Kate both died at Summershill,  Lewis 1960 and Kate 1968.

Perhaps they were nursing Janet Ellen - reason for her dying there in 1932.

I have looked on Carnarvon Traders for Hugh and Janet Ellen's burial, nothing.
Found death reg. for Hugh 1954 - Janet Ellen 1932.

Where else could they have been buried ?
