Need help with a Welsh placename..

[landvaettir]

Hi,

Can someone help me with this placename? It is the place of birth listed on a birth certificate in 1884. 

Tyn-y-Celyn, Llanfair, R.S.D.

Where is this? Which County is it in? Does Tyn-y-Celyn mean anything in welsh? And what does RSD stand for? Radnorshire?

Googling around it seems that Tyn-y-Celyn can be the name of a farms or houses, what does it mean in English?

Thanks.

LLanfair longest name for a village ever!

RSD is Rural Sub District. This Llanfair is in old Denbighshire. There is a village of Tyn y Celyn near Ruthin

Where does the "uchaf" on the end come from?

Hackstaple,

click on the link !

All will be revealed .....

(including how to pronounce it  )

[Hackstaple]

That is cheating - I have been able to spell snd pronounce the full name of Lllanfair since I was 7. I have never heard of  this suffix until today

Well, they did say they wanted to pad out the domain-name.

The longest domain-name in the world wins a banana - or something

Bob - an amazing statistic is that as I  was reading about the prize for a banananana village I saw we both had the same number of postings! But now I have one more - like adding "uchaf".
