Do you need the legacy address or new style address?

New Style address: 1Asw9BGefMxkG4TTUhs1fsiKuyCqRmeccy

For the record, Bitcoin addresses starting with "1" are legacy addresses, which in your case is actually a good thing.

However...

I have noticed I sent the transaction from my BCH wallet and not my BTC wallet, does that make a difference on trying to find the funds?

Block Explorer said "no matching records found" Angry

Your transaction number does show up neither on BCH nor on BTC block explorers. Same goes for the address 1Asw9BGefMxkG4TTUhs1fsiKuyCqRmeccy. If you merely sent coins on the wrong Bitcoin blockchain the transaction should have appeared on at least one of the block explorers. However it seems like the address is incorrect as well.

Which wallet did you use to send your coins from? Bitcoin ABC? Can you double-check your transaction history to which address you sent the coins to?
