Evan	John	55	Coychurch	1816	Farmer of 100 Acres	Head	Christian name could be Euan. Farm name misspelt by the Enumerator as Gweinllwyn.
Margaret	John	55	Bettws	1816		Wife
Evan	John	26	Coychurch	1845		Son	Obviously born prior to the move to the Bettws Farm
Christopher	John	23	Coychurch	1848		Son
John	John	21	Bettws	1850		Son	A possible conclusion maybe that they moved from Coychurch area in 1850, as the older sons were born there and all of the later children were born in Bettws. Imaginative naming !
Mary	John	12	Bettws	1859		Daughter	Quite a significant gap in the ages of her next older brother.
Sarah	John	10	Bettws	1861		Daughter	Wonder if the last three children were the result of a second marriage ?
Evan	John	3	Llandyfogwyd	1868		Grandson

1876 Documents originating with the Maesteg Permanent Benefit Building Society dated 27 Jan 1876, and 15 March 1877, show that a Jenkin Thomas tookout a mortgage to build four cottages “being part of a certain farm called Gwernllwyn situate in the parish of Bettws in the said county of Glamorgan. Measured as being 773square yards or therabout.” This was signed by a John Popkin Traherne as well as a Dissenting Minister and an Inn Keeper from Maesteg. However, it appears that the cottages were never built. The present alignment of the outhouses at Gwernllwyn Fawr Farm just might have been the position but this is supposition in the extreme.
