With Geoff on this one, I think it is most likely "waller"

I have a maltster a few years later, and I find it quite impossible to make maltster out of this entry. Sticking with "waller"

Thanks everyone.
I'll go with Waller.
Can't find a Pwllwhud in Glam, but I guess it was a farm.

The place name could be this.
PWLLHELI (Gwy) Pwllhely (1292). Meaning: WELSH pwll ‘pool' and heli ‘brine'. The personal name Helig is a less probable alternative.
McNicoll in Angus, Edinburgh.
