Hi folks, could I ask you for some help please? Attached is an extract from a 1884 Wedding Certificate. I have questions about the addresses:
1. Mynydd Bychan I believe is now the New Brighton/Bryn Y Baal area of Mold, but does anybody know what the letters are and what they mean. Is it U.M.L. or U.M.I? or U.M.J.? ???
2. Can anyone read the second address. I think the first word is Cyffion but cannot make the second word out. Can anyone assist? I've been through the whole of the Flintshire-Mold-Enumeration Districts but can't see anything remotely close!
As always your help/expertise would bne much appreciated :)

Morning
U.M is "Urban Mold" I'm not sure what the letter after it is but it may be a "T"; Township maybe? It just means that they lived in the parish of Mold.
I think the words after this are Cyffion Rhanbeifion but again I'm not entirely sure. (Not being much help really am I).
I'm sure they'll be someone on here who can shed some light on this

Hello
Just a couple of ideas for you.
I'd suggest that the address is "Cyffion Rhanberfedd". Rhanberfedd was part of Hope Parish, I believe, and an old resident may have come from there.
As for the initials, the third one may be a "J" for Joint, as in joint parishes.
I hope this helps :)
