Thank you all    I thought I'd provide a quick update.. I've now been to both chapels and had some success! 

For Bethel, I've found my Great great grandparents John and Catherine Powell and their son Edgar who was killed in WW1 (actually the first grave on the left as you enter the churchyard).  It was lovely to see the place so well cared for.  We're thinking of popping up to the chapel when it is open for service (the Baptist tradition has been passed down through the generations). 

For Horeb, I've had half success.  I've found the grave of the parents of John Powell (easily found near the door to the derelict chapel), but I understand that John's grandparents are also buried there and I can't locate them.  Considering the chapel is derelict the graveyard is well kept - but some parts look a little difficult/dangerous because of the hill and so I need to have someone with me when attempting to look at the outer reaches!!

I had indeed found the links in the newspaper.... there is an irony that I found out about the connection to Bethel Chapel through the news reports of the trial!  I'm relieved that he was acquitted though! (although it does sound like a very odd incident).
Thank you again

Hi,
My first post here 

I've traced my ancestors to Pantycorred Mill, Garthbrengi.  My great grandfather was the Treasurer and Deacon of Bethel Baptist chapel around the turn of the 19/20 century.  He died in 1928.  Can someone tell me if Bethel is still a chapel? If it has a graveyard is there a list available online of those buried there?  Similarly, his parents and grandparents were members of Horeb chapel in Llywel - is there a list of MIs available for that chapel?

Many thanks
Helen
