Welsh - or a speech impediment??
« on: Thursday 26 May 05 11:10 BST (UK) »
Even those of us who ARE Welsh sometimes struggle to interpret Welsh personal and place names, so this one made me giggle!

I think it was transcribed very fairly considering the handwriting, which was quite loopy:

Harriett LLELLIELLIE

RG10/5527 13 78 6

What do you reckon?  ???

So much for Welsh having no vowels!   ;D ;D

It's just across the river from Cilfynydd (where I used to live)
