Telle couth  Rhondda Glamorgan

If you put it on the Welsh board you'll probably get a proper spelling!

Sorry, I didn't notice.  Welcome to Rootschat   :D

Most people on here are very friendly and helpful, it's just a case of finding the right place to post things so that they get seen by the people most likely to help.

You were right to put it on this board to start with, but I think that 'Telle couth' is what it sounded like rather than the real place name.

If I was you I would put a post on the Welsh board with a link to this one (just use the address in the browser window).  Then you get the best of both worlds!

Good luck
Linda
