Message:		As promised, I am writing this reply after receiving more information from my two fellow historians. Both Mr. Mervyn Hugheston Roberts, former Tannery Owner and local historian and Mr Keith Morris, webmaster of the much visited historical website "Caernarfon Traders" have been able to establish from researching the 1871 Census that Tan Yard Court was in the Crown Street area and close to Patent Slip Terrace, so the original suggestion that it could be near Balaclava Road was not that far out. We, therefore, thank Mrs. S. Thomas for the question and for her previous reply to my earlier email and trust that this information will go some way to assist her to envisage the location of where her grandmother was born. Regards, T. Meirion Hughes
