RESOLVED THANKS Help deciphering a county and town/village
« on: Tuesday 10 May 22 18:25 BST (UK) »
Thanks to all  for the help.
 I thought that it might be Merthyr/ Mathry Pembroke and I'm happy to have it confirmed. The transcription said:  Meetkys, Pomkoke??  :D

Hi
Can someone help me to decipher the town on this enlistment form, it is the bottom  line Thomas Williams
Thanks
Ricky

You could also give the URL of the form,  someone may have the same subs as you.

The parish looks like Merthyr, so maybe = Mathry (also called Merthyr). See here ...

@ Ricky:
It is better to add your thanks as a new reply, rather than amending your original post, as a lot of people probably won't see what has been added/changed.

I am glad the sleuths on here were able to solve the mystery!  ;D
