Nice one.Da Iawn,Mona

Ach i fi! Not Medieval Welsh!

For some laughs about Welsh--only for those wo don't mind being the butt of a joke, though--see http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Welsh_Language Some is dumb, but some is pretty clever.

K was part of the Welsh alphabet in medieval times

Thanks for all the help. I really do appreciate it.

If it helps, there is no "K" in Welsh, but there is in Cornish. Also, I found this doing a quick Google search: http://cornishcrier.com/nwsltrs/cc_vol14_no3.txt

It's a long page, but open it, then click your "Find" or "Find on Page" button--mine is under my "Edit" button and type in "Tredick"--it just appears i a long list of Cornish surnames, but maybe by reading more of the page, you'll find more clues, or just r-Google.

Keep us posted.

http://cornish-place-names.wikidot.com/place-name-elements The Cornish are of celtic origin and many placenames have Welsh sounding names..Tre in Cornish is town or village

Back in the 1880's, a Tredick relative went to London to try to track the name down. He went to the Coat of Arms library and could find nothing. The gentleman at the Coat of Arms Library thought the name was from Cornwall also. My relative stated in a letter that he would go to Cornwall on his next visit to England but died before he could travel back to England. So that falls in line with Neil's thought.

Thanks

Not quite sure what you mean,Margo(Marged yn Gymraeg)

I live about 3 miles from Caerwys in Holywell(Treffynnon)which in Welsh means Well Town.Tredick would literally mean Dick's Town ,Tre(f) being town.To be honest Tredick sounds more Cornish than Welsh.If you need any info on Caerwys let me know.

My great grandfather, Thomas TParry,his wife Ann Jones, and his father Thomas Parry, left CAERWYS, FLINTSHIRE around 1840 and sailed for America. I know that Parry is Welsh, but my middle name is Tredick. I thought for years it was an English name, but when my grandson, whose middle name is also Tredick, went to day care, the lady there said it was Welsh. She is Welsh and she said she has seen the name Tredick many times in Wales.

HenryTredick, who I am descended from, arrived in Portsmouth, NH sometime prior to the 1740's but I don't know where he came from.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
