This reminds me - when following our family history I found the birth place
of my Welsh-speaking great grandmother was shown in a census as being
Mothvey, and it took me a long time to track this down as being Myddfai.
Unless you know the phonetic sound of Welsh you are pretty much stuck
tracking down these places.
