Hello!

I have located a Welsh parish register marriage entry and although I have the ghist of it, I can't quite make out the groom's name so if anyone is able to assist decipher, I'd be very grateful.

The small entry is the piece of interest - the last 6 words on the second line in particular however, the sixth word is very likely to be the Bride's first name - Jonet, Jonnett or something similar.

It appears to indicate that the groom's name is David ap ? ??  ?? ??

Hi there

my father's birth certificate states he was born at this address:-

Derwen Pas, Neath Road, Crynant
DuPais Lower Road

Although I can find Neath Road, Crynant, I'm not have any success finding any reference to Derwen Pas or DuPais Lower Road.

Has anyone any ideas on the location?

Cheers
Lynda

Canlyniad Damwain.
Pan wrth ei waith fel coediwr yn nglofa Cambrian, Clydach Vale, cyfarfyddodd Mr. Isaac Griffiths, 23, Howard Terrace, o'r un lie, a damwain a brofodd yn angenol iddo, ddydd Gwener canlynol. Y mae yn debyg iddo gael ei daro yn ei frest gan fater caled, glo neu bren, nes peri idaB boen ofnadwy. O hyny allan, gwnawd pob peth oedd yn ddichonadwy i'w wella, ond methwyd, gan fod canlyn- iad y ddamwain yn gwneud hyny yn beth anmhosibl. Yr oedd yr ymadawedig yn 36 mlwydd oed, a symudiadau ei fywyd yn cael eu cymeradwyo. Dywedir ei fod yn barchus iawn o'i fam, ac yn gofalu am gynaliaetb, &c., yn anrhydeddus iddi. Bu yn aelod am rai blynyddau yn eglwys Soar (A.), Clydach Vale. Yr oedd yn perthyn i'r Rechabiaid, ac yn wir weithgar, y mae yn debyg. Hysbysir fod 80 o fechgyn, a 53 o ferched bychain, a 115 o Hersonau mewn oed, yn gwneud i fyny y gym- xleithas a enwyd. Y mae yr un mor wirion- eddol i Isaac Griffith wneud ei oreu i gael y gymdeithas i sefyllfa flodeuog. Rhoddodd amryw o r aelodau eu presenoldeb yn yr angladd, ac yn cael eu blaenori gan Mr. Theophilus Rees, sef un o weithwyr selog achosion da yn Nghlydach Vale. Trodd Cyf- rinfa yr Odyddion allan yn lluosog ar yr achlysur. Gwelsom y cynhebrwng, ac yn ddiddadl yr oedd tua mil o bobl yn bresenol. Gwasanaethwyd ar yr achlysur gan y Parchn. W. Williams a W. Davies. Buasai yn briodol crybwyll fod Cymdeithas y Rechabiaid yn y lie hwn o dan ddylanwad eglwysi Soar (A.), a Calfaria (B.), ac fod yr undeb prydferth yma yn cael ei werthfawrogi. Daearwyd yr hyn oedd farwol o Isaac Griffiths yn Nghladdfa Gyhoeddns Trealaw, ddydd Mawrth, y laf cyfisol.

This is how it translated:

Conclusion Accident
When in his work as coediwr in Cambrian Colliery, Clydach Vale, cyfarfyddodd Mr. Isaac Griffiths, 23, Howard Terrace, of the same lie, which proved an accident angenol him, Friday following. It is like he was hit in his chest by the hard issue, coal or timber, until a cause terrible pain idaB. From gwnawd all the way out, it was feasible to improve it, but failed, as follows-tment of the accident makes ticket is anmhosibl.  The deceased was 36 years old, and the movements of his life being approved. It is said that he was very respectful of his mother, and caring for gynaliaetb, & c., honourably. He has been a member for some blynyddau in the Church of Soar (a.), Clydach Vale. I belonged to the Rechabiaid, and indeed active, it is similar. Notice is hereby given that 80 of boys, and 53 women, and 115 of small Hersonau in old age, make up the gym-named xleithas.  It is equally absurd-stage to Isaac Griffith made her oreu to get the Association to florid situation. Several members gave their attendance at the funeral, and prioritisation by Mr. Theophilus Rees, one of the hardworking workers good causes in Clydach Vale. He turned the rinfa-Odyddion Ref out multiple on the occasion. We saw a funeral, and undoubtedly there were about a thousand people in attendance. Served on the occasion by the Parchn. W. Williams and w. Davies.  It would be appropriate to mention that the Rechabiaid in the Society where churches under the influence of this Soar (a.), and Calfaria (b.), and that the beautiful Union here is appreciated. Daearwyd what was mortal of Isaac Griffiths Nghladdfa Gyhoeddns Trealaw, on Tuesday, the laf cyfisol.

The full meaning of the newspaper item eludes me and I'd be grateful for any assistance to help me understand what was reported.
