Is / Was there a place called Wych?
« on: Wednesday 17 November 10 15:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

I'm trying to trace the family of Lucy (or possibly Louisa) Ann Taylor born in 1870 in a village called Wych in Flintshire. I have tried to google this but i can't seem to find it, can anyone please help me?

I have looked on ancestry but no luck either, it maybe that this information has been passed down wrongly....

Thanks

Ha! Genjen beat me to it.  ;D

If you have non conformists in the family, this could well be it.

I lived in a nearby village for all my childhood years and my parents still live nearby.  Higher and Lower Wych together were known locally as the Wyches ~ which is where you might have got just Wych from.   If you need any help on the Geography of the area please feel free to ask
