Can anyone help me read this address please? It is where my gt gt grandfather was listed as living on the 1861 Welsh census. I figure the second word is mill as he and his family are all listed as millers but would like to try and find the mill. The parish is listed as Llanfechain, the registration district is Llanfyllin, the sub-registration district is Llansaintfraid and the count is Montgomeryshire. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm not Welsh - so be gentle. But..... I think it might be a mis-written TYISAF.

Ty - House, Isaf - lower - ie. "Lower House" mill.

I did a quick Google

Tyissa, in the parish of Llanbadarnfawr ... $:-\$

Ty Issa or Isa or Isaf, etc. is how we would write it today

I wonder if it's here - near the farm:

Thinking the same as greenrig, it may be a misspelling of tyisaf. It has happened before,
see http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=63mefng8hvcou2q5hnllmktr62&topic=346351.msg2271001 _{(not that this would be connected with yours as it is up by Oswestry)}

Just looked at the census pages and I am pretty sure that it is where I've indicated on the map
