Anneelaine,   I'm sorry but I can't help you about farms in past times but there may be others on the forum who can advise you.,    Good luck with your house hunting, it's a nice area to live in.

There are a few possibilities but could need a fair amount of time to research.  A good place to start would be the Tithe Records which were compiled for each parish in the 19th Century. The County Archives has most of these.  It would be fairly easy to identify farms and small holdings by the amount of land associated with the tenant or landowner.  The Town Directories are also a source of information. Census records available up to 1911 will show the trade or calling of the head of household. 

If you had a specific area in mind I am sure one or more of us on the Forum would be able to give some help or further pointers.

A friend sent me this link which may help.   I don't know enough about this subject but Anneelaine may be looking for Tan Y Bryn and the Rogerson connection.  There are two in Pydew but the name is fairly common in N Wales

That postcode that you supplied was for the farm Sarn Y Mynach by the Black Cat roundabout but I hope that that you enjoy the walk and you find something.   
That area has changed a lot since your childhood and it may be that you'll just have to settle for those childhood memories

Anneelaine,   I can't remember exactly who you said your father was but there is a definite connection of the Rogerson's to Pensarn Farm Llangystenin.

I've reposted a photo I took of a grave in Llangystenin Church some years ago and the inscription is in Welsh but this is what it's translated to in English
Mary Rogerson, dear wife of William Rogerson Pensarn Farm Llangystenin died 21st January 1917      Also

Catherine Ellen dear child of the above who died October 27th 1918 aged 1 year and 9 months old      Also

William Bell Rogerson died February 19th 1940 aged 62

Just looking at that and the dates involved I'm guessing that Mary died after giving birth to Catherine Ellen which is so sad and especially so that Catherine Ellen died a short time later

Thank you Hugo ,
 He married my grandmother about 9 months later  1917 and that's when it all started
 my gran (Jane Ann Davies) was cast out from the family
                  He was on the farm with his first wife at first.

I was looking at the Llangystenin Baptism record for another forum member and came across a Baptism for the Rogerson family.
The information on the Register is as follows:-

No 241   Born 7/6/1901   Baptised 19th Jan 1906    Mary Agnes    daughter to Mary Ann Rogerson     1 Margaret St   ( I couldn't read the address properly but that's what it looked like )
So Mary Agnes Rogerson was an illegitimate child

I thought that I'd enclose the details for you
