Anna:
In my disorganized state of mind, I don't see a connection, but it is
interesting about the blacksmith at Llangadog. I've noted the tombstone
inscription in the Llangadog Cemetery of my Elizabeth Rees grandparents,
Edward Rees & Hannah. It seems that Hannah's father, William Lloyd was a
blacksmith of Llangadog as well. I haven't heard the name "Pen-yr-Heol"(
that you mention as the residence of the village blacksmith. ) I can't
"connect the dots" but the similarities are interesting.
Sincerely, Donna Wendt
