Place name help, please
« on: Thursday 14 May 15 13:31 BST (UK) »
I have potentially 2 William & Elizabeth Breeze's having children at the same time and being baptised at Llanbrynmair Congregational Chapel.

Two of the baptisms have what I assume is their residence as  Myrdynnllwyd while the others have  Escairgarry, which I wonder might be Esgairgeiliog. The order goes M, E, M, E,E,E...The E's only start after the second William & Elizabeth marry. There's a 6 year gap between the 2 Ms and 6 years between the first 2 Es

I haven't found Myrdynnllwyd on Google. Would anyone be able to place it, and also assess whether it could be used as an alternative for Esgairgarry, or would it definitely be 2 separate places?

Thanks for any help!

Hi

Actually, I've got the image on Find my Past and I'd back my transcription a bit more than Family Search's version

I'll see if I can paste it...

Actually, re-reading your message, we're probably talking about different records

Well I see that as Mynyddyslwyn, It seems that there is a place of that name but in S Wales, now in Gwent.

So the marriage of William Breese to Elizabeth in Gwent is looking to be another family, not yours.

Note the spelling of Breese with an s.

Ok, different pair of eyes and all that  :)

But this is taken from the register of the Llanbrynmair Congregational Chapel in Montgomeryshire. It would seem a long way to go to get a child baptized

And I should say that I have seen two William Brees / Elizabeth marriages in Llanbrynmair. (The name adapts to Breeze later)

Yes it is a long way, I could understand the firstborn, if they had gone to S Wales to seek work then going home to mum to have your first child was not unusual, but later ones, no.

I have searched old maps on the nat. Library. Scotland site and could find nothing faintly possible in Montgomeryshire.
