so if there was no st cenydd terrace ..i wonder if anyone might know how its supposed to be spelt..please...

If you "google" the name, you will find it did exist (theres a list of miners, a "death roll", from 1913, and the name was used then, without the "St" though), dont know whether it exists now though :-\
-
thankyou cat one ..just found that.. do you know how far apart penyrhoel and senghenydd are apart.. please..as it looks like there might be two..
-
Sorry, tried checking on autoroute and the only Penyrhoel I could find was in Monmouthshire, over 40 miles away, couldn't find one near Senghenydd. Have you tried multimap.com?
Regards
Catherine :)

There's a Cenydd Terrace in Senghenydd. Its still there. There is a St Cenydd Road near Penyrheol. On my map (http://bit.ly/Senghenydd) there are mining disaster victims in both streets.

Cenydd Terrace is at the top of Senghenydd - it's one of the four terraces
St Cenydd Road is in Trecenydd - they are around 4 miles apart
I would say St Cenydd Terrace, Senghenydd would be the first one - do you have a number of the house though - the Road is a LOT longer than the terrace (190odd houses compared to 37- if they lived at 101 it would self indentify)
