The Parish Church of Ystradyfodwg, St John the Baptist can be found in Ton Pentre at the junction of Church Rd and Bailey Street. It was completely rebuilt on the old site approx 30 yrs ago.

There is a pic here of the old church, does not do it justice...have got a better one on comp but cannot find a link to it on net.

Many of my folk were married there, There are records available From GFHS for the Ystradyfodwg Parish Church. I have only the marriages.

William Roberts died 1883 Pontypridd. My source is a book written by Robert Griffith.
On the 1881 census he is living in Ystradyfodwg. Is that close to Pontypridd?
I can find nothing at BMD or any other site regarding his death.
I don't know where to search next. Any advice would be appreciated!
This is my gr gr grandfather
thanks Teddy USA

Pontypridd was the registration district for the parish of Ystradyfodwg at that time

but I can't see a death reg in 1883 apart from one for an infant. There's one in 1882

William Roberts 55 sept qtr 1882 Pontypridd vol 11a pg 197
