Cherry Orchard did not appear as a dwelling on the Glascoed census until 1871. I believe that it was the same dwelling as one of the Pentwyns (up until this point, there were two Pentwyns on the census for Glascoed).

It is situated at the end of Cwm Road, Glascoed (NP4 OTF) – neighbouring houses include Ty Mawr and Upper House.

It appears that right through the census period, successive generations of the Edwards family were living at the house. In 1841 the head of the household was James Edwards, a shoemaker who had lived in Glascoed from the early 19th century and possibly since his birth c 1780. His wife was Ann nee Jones and they had at least four children, including Leonard, James, Thomas and Ann.
