    If you speak Welsh you may be able to assist in this bit I need translating.

    The word are on a grave stone and are in upper case:

    WRTH TREAD UR IESU.

    I think it says "till we meet at the feet of Jesus.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Wrong.

    It means "Opta Index for 11 year olds".
    It seems there's a problem with your translation book.

    RE: 11 year old what?

    Rottweilers.
    The Rottweiler Opta Index rates the dogs performance over a year - taking into account the number of people it has bitten, how many times it has had to be smacked with a hammer to get it to release a child & how many other dogs it has savaged.

    This translation book of yours is rubbish.

    And her answer......

    Should be "Wrth Draed Yr Iesu" - incorrect mutation in original, apparently.

    Concurs that it means "By Jesus' Feet". Literally, no interpretation required.
