I have a hand written record of births in the front of a bible from 1863. I have worked out the months from a list I was oncve given but stuck on a couple of words. a anwyd (after a person's name) de a py fawr Nuireford (sorry, this is hard to read) 18.1871. Was there an old way of spelling months, this doesn't look like any on my list? Thanks very much, Sue Australia ______________________________
