Research Notes

According to the UK Genealogical Archives, ^[18] Llancadwaladr is a parish in Denbighshire on the river Ceiriog, here called Tregeiriog. As this area is very close to Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, it is possible that the births of the Edwards children were registered in Llanamon Dyffryn Ceiriog, but the location of their residence for the census was listed is Llancadwaladr.
