Hello Pauline

Re your question on the Ffynnonhenri records--they are about 30 pages but very hard to read, but the Pughs and Davies's are strongly represented and mostly clear but I need to look in detail to find the individuals. I will be back in touch.

Meanwhile two questions for you. 1) I had said I would try to transcribe and list the 1841 Conwil census, I have started BUT I wonder if you have a special format such as Excel you prefer, if not I will use Excel.
2) Also--many times the farm name is partly illegible in the 1841 but I can get the farm name with good confidence by looking at your 1851 summary--a lot of people did not change and also I can use the next door farm and interpolate, IS THAT LEGITIMATE from your point of view?? It is sort of cheating but adds a lot to the data and I have confidence in the result.

It is very hard to read this stuff sometimes, as you both know only too well!!

Hi Dave

How large is the document/documents......any of my Davies there? We know
that a Davies married one of your Pugh's..............

Is it too difficult to transcribe, or is most of it illegible.....

Pauline
