Title: Where were people buried in the Ponty area before Glyntaff opened in 1875 ?
Post by: mlrsuperstar on Friday 03 November 17 14:33 GMT (UK)

Hi Everyone ,
I am researching various names of people who lived in the Ynysangharad area of Ponty between 1835 and 1870 ( so before Glyntaff Cemetery). Some were Church of England and some were non-conformists. Can anyone tell me where the burial grounds were and is any are still there ?
Any help will be appreciated,

Thanks in advance

According the the GenUKI page for Pontypridd, there were burial grounds at:
Sardis Congregational Church
Capel Rhondda Baptist Church

St Catherine's was the first Anglican church, and that commenced building in 1866.
The nearest was St Mary's, Glyntaff.
