Llangwelach?
« on: Monday 31 July 23 08:04 BST (UK) »
Hi

Does anyone recognise the place of origin of the bride Hannah Walter in the attached. It looks like Llangwelach but it’s not a place I recognise. The marriage took place in St. Elli. The bride was not necessarily from Carmarthenshire

Thank you

Thanks. Looking at it again it could be Llangevelach and therefore a misspelling of Llangyfelach

I would agree a bad spelling of Llangyfelach which is not very far from Llanelli
Sockett in Shropshire, Montgomeryshire, Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Glamorgan and probably the rest of the UK
Corbet/t in Shropshire, Norfolk, Worcestershire
Gambold in South West Wales, USA, Australia
Baylis/s in Gloucestershire, South Wales
Richards in Breconshire
Manthorpe in Shropshire, Norfolk, Cheshire, Suffolk
