If you were Nonconformist in the 19th c in Rhosllanerchrugog/ Ruabon area where would you be buried.
I'm finding deaths but no entries in Parish registers.
I'm not having much luck with earlier burial grounds and not quite sure when Rhosllanerchrugog Cemetery opened.
Thanks

My Methodist families in the area held a service either at the house or in the Chapel and were then buried in the Church yard. There are entries in the relevant parish records.
My grt grandfather has written in his diary about going to a service for his uncle in the Rhos area. I;ll see if he mentions where he was buried and get back to you.

Ive not found any burials on Ancestry, but have found baptisms in Nonconformist records.
Some were Baptist.
Thanks.

The diary entry for Grt Grandfather's uncle's funeral reads:
Monday 24 September 1900
Went to Wrexham and Coedpoeth to bury Uncle Robert Ellis.
No mention of a burial in the newspapers, parish records or Freereg. Just the death cert and this entry.
I might have missed something in Welsh Newspapers Online :-\

This would be Coedpoeth Cemetery. The ones I cant find were much earlier, some in the 1840s..🤔

I had a look on Old Maps and found a few graveyards dotted around, probably belonging to Chapels, but don't know which they were . This was in the 1870 ish maps.

If you go here
https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2246635/rhosllannerchrugog-cemetery
and scroll down, it lists the following burial grounds, in addition to the cemetery adjacent to the St John's graveyard:
Saint John the Evangelist Churchyard
Mynydd Seion Welsh Independent Chapel
Ponciau, , Wrexham, Wales
Soar Scotch Baptist Chapel
Not sure how big they would be.
Clicking on them allows you to search for graves - like FindaGrave.

e.g a plan of Capel Mynydd Seion which seems to be behind and at the sides of the Chapel itself
