Decipher translate pls **completed - thanks**
« on: Tuesday 08 December 09 13:58 GMT (UK) »
I have no idea what the second word of this address is in Holywell I know the first word is Tai = house but the second word is beyond me, I've looked on census returns and seen nothing similar, would really appreciate some help (they should have a begging smiley on here!)  ;)

Thanks Sarah  :)

'Tai' is houses; 'ty' is house. Could be 'Farm'?

Is there any other word for red which has escaped me as the person living at the address I can't read in 1887 was living in the red houses aka Tai Cochian in 1891 which were kind of on Brynford Road

Thats terrible, im more than a quarter and i still don't know im more like very nearly 3/4 (1/4 scottish) I think farm houses might well be right, i had a look again at the cert and he had spelt first stupidly too and there were some farm houses on brynford road, sometimes things stare you in the face and you just cant see them, think i've traced the family i was looking for now so am well pleased because they were like finding needles in haystacks but worse! Thanks for eveyones help  :D  :-*

I'd go for "Tai Fama"

Tai = Houses
Fama = Shortened version of Famau, as in Moel Famau

Just a punt...
