Sarah, can you give us the exact census reference so that I can look at the original.

Fama/Famau seems as good a bet as any, but it would depend where on Brynford Road it was. If it was close to Holywell, you wouldn't see Moel Famau from there, but nearer Brynford you might.

Tai farw.
My handwriting has the 'r' as a lower case letter but some older handwritings have the 'r' as back to front.

Farw appears on a lot of headstones I think it means 'dead'
So the address would be 'dead houses'
Regards Eldon.

Tai farw.

Not sure about the w, Eldon - have a look at the w in Holywell. The final upstroke  turns inwards -  no tail or anything.

Yes I saw that. I still think that the third letter is 'r' -same as second letter in Brynford.
The double 'l' in Holywell is not higher that the 'e' before it.
Could it be Tai Farill?
Cannot find  'farill'  in the dictionary.
Is it possible to have a Welsh word that has no literal meaning in English?

To Sarah: How old is this inscription? Do you have any names of the adjacent houses? Next time I am in Holywell I could have a look.

Sorry didn't realise things have been posted, missed a few lately cos I havent been informed of new posting. The address is from a marriage cert from 1887. I am fairly confident it translates to farm houses as there were some on Brynford road at that time called farm houses!

Thanks for everyones help and interest, much appreciated

Was it a church wedding? If so, the address may be clearer on the Parish Register.
