Identifying a Montgomeryshire place name
« on: Sunday 15 February 26 21:06 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have any idea where this place is in Montgomeryshire? It's probably in the parish of Aberhafesp, Tregynon or Bettws Cedawain. I think it's probably the name of a building. And I'm referring to the first one, not Llanfihangel.

The best I can come up with is Abberhew in Bettws.

Link is ok for me. What census is this from and for who? It would be good to see original to compare more writing. Do you have the person on another census?

Here it is. In other censuses, just Montgomeryshire is listed, with no settlement.

According to the baptism, if the correct person, he was born in Pentre, Aberhafesp.

The location is on this map: https://maps.nls.uk/view/135199783

Pentre is just to the north west of Aberhafesp
