Can anyone please translate the following 'Rhod a gyflwynwyd i NAME ailod yn Ysgol y Methodistiaid Calfiniaid Yn Mynyad Isa. Hyduf 17th 1894.' Written in the front of a family bible. Where is Mynyad Isa? Many thanks. Keith

Rhod is wheel,or or eclipse or round thing OR an actual name Ysgol is school Methodistiaid is self explanitory Hyduf seems old welsh for October (now Hydref) Calfiniaid is possibly Calvinist as in Church Its called Mynydd Isa now and is between Mold and Buckley in Flintshirei

Hydref = October (which would make sense)
