I wonder if dai was both butcher and mill owner.

Is Dai a word for grandad?
If so it's not helpful to people if you use slang words.

I've heard & seen Dai used in Fife, Scotland (the only place I've seen it until now).

Dai is a common nickname in Wales if your name is David or even Dafydd

I'm sorry. Dai is a welsh local name for the name David.  You would call it a nick name perhaos but not slang

You have posted on the How to Use RootsChat (Please don't post requests here) board.

I'm amazed people fail to see those words...(Please don't post requests here), maybe it needs to be highlighted in red to make it more obvious

Thank you!

I doubt David would be found on official records as 'Dai' although he might be but it's always an idea to give full known birth names, middle names & other possible names like 'Dai' (in brackets) when asking for help.

I see your point and of course you are right .
He was known in the family as dai and I carried on.

I was thinking thst I've not seen peggy in a birth or baptism  registration  it's a nickname for Margaret as in my mothers name margaret ann.

I'll stick to his formal name in future
