Brymbo Marriage.

[juneg27]

Hi, I am trying to find out which church in Brymbo my 2xGreat grandparents were married in.I am also not sure how many churches there are in Brymbo either. they were married on the 11th October 1823. they both came from Brymbo and their names are John Matthias and Lydia Jones.
John was born in Brymbo in 1797 and Lydia was born in 1798.
I am wondering if anyone has any parish records for Brymbo for around the time of 1823.I did get this information from a person in Wales many years ago now but was not given the church in which they were married in.
would be grateful for any info  regarding this.
many thanks, JUNE.

Hi
Brymbo was in the parish of Wrexham at that time so probably Wrexham St Giles.

St Giles is actually in Wrexham town.
The A N Palmer centre which is in Bersham will have Parish Records on microfilm there.

Hi June

If you are looking for baptisms for those born in the Brymbo area circa late 1700s early 1800s many families baptized their children at Minera Chapel which was a Chapel of Ease in the parish of St. Giles Wrexham.  The Clwyd FHS have published transcriptions for Minera Chapel covering Bishop Transcripts from 1772-1785 and the Chapel from 1786 to 1820.   It is definitely worth checking both Minera and St Giles sources when you are researching in this area.
