Yes that is where i have got the information from but can't find it on the 1881 Census. So i was wondewring if it had changed

On the 1901 census she is known as ~Anne Adams (married name)
birth year 1878
Birth place: Cennin carnarvons, caernarvonshire wales
Civil Parish: Dolbermaen

Its the same place but they just shortened the name of the area she was born, a bit like saying Southend instead of its full name Southend on sea

Do you know who her father was? There are too many Ann Davies to figure out where she was in earlier censuses.

No on the 1901 census her name was spelt anne adams.

I thought i found him but them there were more

I know they got married in 1900 in Pwllheli

And on the 1901 census it says she was born in cennin carnarvon, caernarvonshire, that is where i am at a loss as i have looked on the 1881 census and thee is no cennin carnarvon on it

Anne davies was born according to the 1901 census in about 1878.

The Ecclesiastical parish says Llanfihangel y Pennant if this is any help to anyone

If you look at the address in 1901 it say Efail y Cennin.

Look up Dolbenmaen on Multimap. There's a place called Cennin close by.
