Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

Dafydd Coslett Thomas, Eleanor His Wife and Their Six Children Emigrated to Patagonia on the Thames in 1875
A number of people from Carmarthenshire, or who had connections with the county, emigrated to the Welsh Colony in Patagonia, and here is a little information about some of them. DAVID BOWEN, TRES CASAS David Bowen is said to have been born in Trelech-a’r-Betws, Carmarthenshire in 1844 but as a young man he moved to Pentre in the Rhondda and married Mary Anne Williams. In 1875 David, Mary and their children sailed for Patagonia on the Olbers and landed near the estuary of the Chubut on 31 October 1875. The family moved soon afterwards from Rawson to Drofa Fresych where they stayed for nearly three years. Early in 1878 the family moved to Gaiman where David Bowen built a house at the foot of the hills. At the beginning of winter 1879 they moved to a smallholding in Dyffryn Uchaf, an area later called Trebowen. When a chapel was built at Trofa Gwen Ellis, David became a member and an officer of the chapel. A new location was found for the chapel and it was named Bethesda. He served as both deacon and Secretary of Bethesda Chapel. He was one of the small band who went up to rocks at the top of Dyffryn Uchaf to search for somewhere to build a canal. His knowledge of the lands of Dyffryn Uchaf was of great advantage to those who were looking to build their homes in that area. David and Mary Anne’s eldest son and a daughter died of Typhoid in 1883. Thomas married Elizabeth Knowles, Marged Ann married Alun Meirion Williams, Mary Jane married Adrian Eusebio López, Hannah married William John Lloyd and Sarah married José Isabel Quiroga.
