Hi, I have looked on the 1881 Census for Wales and Monmouth and there is not one Mawford included and only 16 in the whole of the British Isles so it is very rare. Mortowooi rings no bells with me. I just can't think where it could be. I have looked on the 1891Census placename Index for Wales and also done a search on the Wales and Monmouth CD of the 1881 Census and can't find anything. It is probably the phonetic spelling and perhaps a Welsh speaker will have more idea. I know w in Welsh can be pronounced long as the oo in school and i as ee in need so it could end in we and not ooi and perhaps end in something like towey which sounds more Welsh to me.
