Thank you for the help. I cannot find any reference to Pentuck Wales (or
any of the variations I had thought of for that matter).
However, I found a gazetteer for Wales on the internet and looked through
every place which begins with the letter P. The only place I came up with
was Pentyrch (one in Montgomeryshire and two in Glamorgan). If one didn't
know the spelling, possibly they would write it as Penturk.
Is anyone here familiar with Pentyrch? Phonetically, could it be mistakenly
spelled as Penturk?
Doug

Hi Douglas,
I did an advance search on the 1881 Census for Wales and found one person
living at Pentuck, Glamorgan. I have no idea what sort of place Pentuck is
as it is not listed as an enumeration district.
All this tells you is that this Pentuck is in Glamorgan, I hope this might
just be your breakthrough.

I recently found an entry in my great grandfather's (Joseph WARR)
diary
where he states that his wife, Ellen CLARK was born in Pinturk or Pintuck
or
Penturk or Pinturk Wales. But none of these places seem to exist.
I'm
sure
of the P,t, and k.
Does anyone know of a place that existed in Wales that is similar to the
above?
Thank you,
Douglas Ross
