Thank you both for this. I am sure it is not Llanarmon as that is definitely too far away. I don't know about Llanharon. It does sound likely but the handwritting in the will is fairly easy to read and there is definitely no H in his spelling. Also his children were baptised in Abergavenny ten years before and he says in the will that he is of Abergavenny and he is buried there. I think that he was trading as a shoe maker or seller as he leaves his stock of leather and shoes and book debts to his wife so would he have an estate as far away as Llanharan? I don't know but thank you both. |

village in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales. Llanharan thrived during the British industrial revolution, with several tin and coal mines in the location providing employment to the town's residents. With the decline of heavy industry in the South Wales Coalfield, Llanharan has been in economic decline, though its proximity to the M4 motorway offers its residents easy commutable access to most of South Wales. |

I have just obtained a will of 1771 which refers to 'my estates in Llanaron Glamorganshire'. I can't find it on a map nor on the list of old parishes in Glamorganshire. The only mention on Google is that it is missing from the 1841 census. |
