Research for a friend so nothing to add to BK6

This is the front page of a family bible:

I have worked out that 'Lon Goch' under William Lloyd's name is his address in Denbigh (Red Lane), but I'm not sure what the rest is, or the spelling. Originally I was wondering what the date refers to.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Merry, there is an online Welsh dictionary:

An easy one -

Ionawr is January

You can even get the pronunciation.

I'm having problems with the handwriting, so until I can decipher that the dictionary isn't much good!

That was my problem! Thanks for your help so far though :) Actually, the person who the bible belongs to may well have a real Welsh dictionary where I can look at everything beginning with Dy which might help! I hadn't thought of that, so thanks for the prompt :)


(I am also wondering why, when someone re-wrote the date, they changed the year?!)
