Yes you are correct BUT AFTER GETTING NO JOY FROM THE REGISTER OFFCE THOUGHT I WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. MAYBE GORSTREYS IS A LOCAL ALTERNATIVE NAME FOR A SMALL HAMLET. EIRWEN.

Hi eirwen.
The usual spelling used these days is GOYTRE but the spelling GOETRE is still used by some of the older generation in the area.
The records for this parish are held in the Gwent Records Office in Ebbw Vale and was in the old county of Monmouthshire and as of now is in the new county of Monmouthshire.
Best of luck in your search
