Hi Joe <1. I cant find Tucluydd ??? but if the name was passed down by word of mouth here in Australia would Tyrllwyd in the Llangoedmor Parish sound like Tucluydd if pronounced in a Welsh accent to an ear used to the Australian flat accent?? Because in the list of Sheriffs of Cardiganshire posted by Gareth Hicks on 25/5/2003 shows a John Vaughan Lloyd of Tyllwyd in 1821> I would say that this is definitely the same place. The luydd bit of Tucluydd could certainly be an attempt at a phonetic spelling of the llywd of Tyllwyd. The Tuc bit is probably a mixup over the pronounciation of the ll in Tyllwyd .
