Hello everyone, I'm looking for a town that may be pronounced PEATRY or PENTRY. It was the place my GGG Grandfather came from, he was born there circa 1830. It was in Denbighshire and would have probably been close to the Staffordshire area of Stoke Upon Trent. He was a coal miner so it also may have been a mining town or close to a mining area. Does anyone know where this might be? I have no idea about Welsh pronunciation (Im Australian) so I was hoping someone Welsh might know what town could sound like Peatry or Pentry to the census transcriber in England. The closest I could come up with on the map to Staffordshire was Pentre near Halton and Penley. But I'm not sure how they were pronounced or if there are any other places that would better fit the name/circumstance. Thank you very much, Tamara.
