John Davies - POB Carmarthenshire

[MollyMay]

I am really struggling with these Welsh families and where they came from.
Can anyone tell me the pob for John Davies
1851 census HO107/2482/192/10
His wife was from Cenarth (Kenarth) but two of the children have the same pob as their father - but what was it?

Looked through list of Carmarthenshire places on Genuki -- the closest so far is Cilrhedyn and even allowing for mispronunciation/mishearing of the vowels I feel that's a big stretch

We need a Welshwoman/man to help out

I've been having a rootle and the best I can come up with is a modern day spelling of Cilrhedyn - on the census it looks like Culrhedin to me

And in the time it took me to get my act together, Muggy has posted and we agree

Thank you both (off to google maps - I am lost without them, in fact I a lost with them)
Cilrhedyn is what Ancestry have transcribed it as - but I just could not see it.

Well, I certainly wouldn't have transcribed it as Cilrhedyn........

That's what I reckon it is, but spelled Culrhedin

Thanks Jan - I was looking for somewhere closer to Cenarth or Newcastle Emlyn, and was going cross eyed with all the place names
Cilrhedyn is now entered.
