Yeah I just goggled the name and found them all close by.
So I think this confirms it, just like you said Wrexham.
I bow to you expert knowledge.
All I got to do now is find the church they used. When my
family moved from Wales they used the Wesleyan Baptist Chapel.
Many thanks for your help
Brian

OK Gadget
Thanks for that I just found a site about 18th century Wrexham, looks
interesting.
There is a mention of the Brewery in Plas Gwern ( Tuttle Street ), also the area was used by many merchants of all trades.

Hi there,
Having worked in Wrexham for a number of years, I can tell you there is a street called Tuttle Street. It runs from its junction with Mount Street and Yorke Street. However, it is not classed as Penybryn.
Penybryn forms part of the road from the town centre out towards Ruabon. It runs from its junction with Bridge street and Chapel Street to its junction with Ruabon Road and Ruthin Road.
If I remember correctly there are no churches/chapels on Penybryn itself,but there are one or two, the denominations of which escape me, off Penybryn. I don't get into Wrexham too often these days, in fact I try to avoid the place.
However, I see you have been given details of the Wrexham museum so I'm sure they will be able to assist.
Good luck.

Poor Wrexham seems to have been surrounded by by-passes and big supermarkets. I remember the Beast Market ant the cinemas on Regent Street and Aston's furniture store and Wrights Corner shop ( I had my first 'grown up' suit from there) and the alley down by Woolworths down to the covered market , etc. etc.
They do have a webcam

Hey Guys as a outsider and have never been there. Are we saying its not worth a visit. After all my ancestors once lived in the place.
Sounds like most places been ruined by the developers.
Hey Gene who were those Swinnerton,s then?

Oh - still visit it - the old places are still there - it's just not as it was. I think Llwyd and I are reminiscing. (he was nice to my Mum when she was old )
When I last visited though, I was glad that I'd moved away
My cousin (aged 84) complains about all the incomers!

OK Guys lets not get personal. As a person from Welsh descent, and proud of it. I think Wrexham should be worth a visit, after all I think I owe it to my ancestors.
Thanks for all your input guys I will be back tomorrow picking your brains about family history.
Pleasure to talk to you all
Brian

I found the baptisms of Hugh, Edward and Robert in Wrexham but no marriage of Robert and Hannah in Wrexham or Ruabon 
What's wrong with Wrexham? I prefer it to Chester anyday.
