Placename in Wales
« on: Saturday 05 May 18 04:11 BST (UK) »
I think I can read Anne Jones's place name (Treuddyn written as Treythin) but I can't read Peter George's. I've included more text than needed hoping it helps. Any ideas?

Think it starts off as

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

It makes no sense but the letters I think I see are:

Uwehymynydd Ucha

 :-\

I will see if I can come up with anything useful.  :)

Did the event (baptism?) take place in Flintshire? What is the date please?

And I have another Peter.
Peter George
Baptism
28 Mar 1696
Holywell, Flintshire, Wales

Can anyone make out the entirety of the entry marked with red asterisk?

So far this is the closest I can find that almost fits with (part of the end of) the word ... maybe:

Llanfynydd:

 :-\

Though I can't make out a "Llanf" written on the baptism.  :-\

Ucha maybe = uchaf which means "higher" .... :-\

As a guess, might the asterisked entry read?:
(first word I don't know) Peter fil (ie son) of Peter George and Margan chr 28

Someone who knows will be along to help you with that soon I hope.  :)

Thanks Ruskie - especially for that side-by-side map thing. It's brilliant!
