Denbighshire / Re: Minera, Wrexham: chapel records

Thank you for the map. I'll give it a good looking at in the morning and see if I can compare it to what I found through the postcode/address finder.

At the time of the 1939 census the family hadn't yet moved to Cae Hofah. I know here they were and it's now the property that I'd like to locate, but thank you again for looking.

Thank you for your replies.

1) I'm fairly certain that she was in Shrewsbury in 1939, but I'll check that out.
2) I looked at postcode finder and it took me to a cottage that could well be the place, and I'll check this out too.
3) This is the address I found: Cae Hovah, Wern, Bersham, WREXHAM, LL14 4LU.

More tasks to be done tomorrow now.

I have now been able to establish the address of the bride at this wedding, but I can't find it using a simple Google search. The handwriting on the marriage register entry makes it look like "2 Cae Hovah, Wern" and I believe this is/was in Minera, Wrexham. Would anybody out there know how I might locate this property, please?

Hi Wilcoxon,

Thank you very much for the suggestion of the North Wales BMD. I found the marriage straightaway and the church was named. They are the parents of my cousin who had no idea where they were married. I feel a trip coming on in the near future.

Denbighshire / Minera, Wrexham: chapel records
« on: Thursday 08 February 24 12:42 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for a marriage in 1940 in Minera. It isn't in the parish records for the village and so I am wondering if it took place in a chapel. Which chapels were operating in 1940 and what happened to their records? NB I have sent for the certificate but would like to locate the chapel record too.

Denbighshire / Re: Moelfre, Llansilin: where are the records for the chapels? (ie not the churches)

Thank you KGarrard and Gadget. It seems that the Blackwell Index has baptisms up to 1837 only and I'd like to look at 1850 forwards. The chapel register index appears to be only available at the NEWA search room. I can feel a visit coming on. Thank you for your suggestions though.

FYI, the baptisms I am looking for are the Richards family of Vownog (Fawnog), Moelfre, viz:
Thomas 1857; Edward 1859; Elizabeth 1860; Mary Ann 1863; Ellenor 1864; Jane 1867; John 1869; Hannah 1871; Allen 1863. The next generation is: Thomas 1881; Catherine 1885; Agnes 1887; Herbert 1894 and Mary Ellen 1897.

Denbighshire / Moelfre, Llansilin: where are the records for the chapels? (ie not the churches)
« on: Friday 04 August 23 19:35 BST (UK)  »
My maternal grandma's family came from Moelfre. They lived and died there from the 1850s to the 1930s. I have searched the bmd records for the churches but found nothing. I'd like to search the chapel records but don't know where to go to find them. They're not in the Record Office at Ruthin. Any ideas out there?

Update:

I have heard from the army that the average time for dealing with requests for records is six months. Never mind, it'll be an early Christmas present.

I tried to upload the four newspaper articles that I found but the file is too big.

Thank you again to each of you that helped me with this and I'll hope to give a further update as and when I hear more.
