Thomas Davies farmer

[Vasquez109]

Hi everyone.

Looking to find a death/burial for Thomas Davies, a farmer at Pantyfeillionen, Llandysul. Hes at Pantyfeillionen in 1841 through to 1861. The 1861 census says hes a farmer of 59 acres. Born around 1796 in Llandysul and family members are:

Hannah (nee Jones) b. around 1799 in Llangeler, Carmarthenshire (WIFE)

Children are:

John 1826
Hannah 1827
Enoch 1829
Evan 1832
Thomas 1836
Mary 1839

Im not overly familiar geographically with this area, so fumbling around with places. Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Thank.
David.

If you look at the 1861 entry it shows he was living in the Newcastle in Emlyn RD but freebmd has a great many deaths for his name between 1861-1871

You will need to use GRO online to determine the ages of those listed

Possibles in 1862 & 1870

Not doing very well, but have spotted that the farm is often referred to as Pantfeillionen

Have found a couple of death notices for Hannah, but they give no clue as to when her husband died or where she was buried. They seem to be in North Wales papers and suggest she'd moved from the farm.

Here is Pant-feillionen (sic), approximately east of Cardigan and south of Newquay.

Llandysul is about 2.4 miles SSE of the farm, just above the "marker" box.
(Carmarthenshire 14 NE, 1886-7)

The NLS has patchy coverage of this area at 1:2500 (25-inch) scale.  Having failed to find Llandysul there, I moved to the 6-inch scale and eventually found the farm.
Now I find there is a 1:2500 2nd ed.sheet (revised 1904) including Pant-feillionen.

Thanks everyone! Osprey, thank you for confirming the 1871 census for Hannah! And thank you Molly for showing the location on the NLS site.

Very helpful. Thank you both.
