1639 Welsh name
« on: Monday 04 November 24 05:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi!
I downloaded an image of a 1632 Will by Thomas ap Hugh of Llanpumsaint Carmarthen.
The last line seems to include the word "Llanvihangell"
Please see if you can decipher the rest of this entry.. I can't!!!
All replies will be gratefully acknowledged.

Hi, there is a village in Carmarthenshire:
"LLANVIHANGEL-AR-ARTH, or YEROTH (LLAN-FIHANGEL-AR-ARTH), a parish, in the union of NEWCASTLE-EMLYN, higher division of the hundred of CATHINOG, county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES"
I think this may be the Llanvihangell in question.
I would still like to have your comments!
Best Regards,
Llanfi
