Family History Beginners Board / Re:Welsh placename - Handwriting Analysis Needed

Thank you for all the ideas.

We have found Ann Townson on the 1881 census on FamilySearch, at 14 Quay St Manchester, an address we also have on her daughter's birth certificate in 1884, and her birth place is shown as Denbigh, Wales.  We tried to find a birth/christening for her, as Ann Jones, father Richard Jones, in 1840 =/- 5yrs, for Denbigh, Wales, and found 2 options, both in 1835, a bit early from her given age on later census and certificates.  However, one place was Llandyrnog, (for an Ann without an 'e'), and the other was Llansilin, Denbigh, (Anne).

Not sure if all this helps or not, but any advice still welcomed.  Thanks again

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have attached a copy of the image, but I am not sure what the quality will be like, I had to reduce the size.
The census was taken in Manchester, and we think Annie was born about 1838. The only other Welsh-related information we have is, that, according to her marriage certificate, her father was Richard Jones, and was a farmer.  It is the second line down on the form.

Again, many thanks.

2deebees.

 :(Please can anyone help with advice about a Welsh placename shown as Phentinthrow on the transcription of the 1901 census, and it also looks like that on the image.  The name is Annie Dougall, late Townson, formerly Jones.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
