Categorization Help in Wales

Question

Hi all,

I've been attempting to categorize my profiles and have come across one I'm unsure of. It's a brick wall ancestor whom all I know is she came from Caerfallwch in Flintshire.

But when I type in Caerfallwch in A Vision of Britain it comes back with Rhosesmor. Anyone know which name I should create the category under or both?

Many thanks!

Answer 1

I would be inclined to favour Caerfallwch as it both a village and parish. Rhosesmor is the largest village within the parish of Caerfallwch.

[[Category: Caerfallwch, Flintshire]]

Answer 2

Rhosesmor seems to be the current name. The other seems to be an earlier Welsh parish, but I can't find any dates other than the parish on 1876.

Where did you the the Welsh name from? If you can link that to the person then I'd use it. otherwise I'd go for the known place name/
