Bangor is y coed/Bangor on Dee, Denbighshire and Flintshire

[Gadget]

I've found a baptism in Bangor in 1799 that state the abode as Sutton. The records have quite a few other entries showing this as abode. For the life of me I can't find it on the old OS maps (Edinburgh University). Does anyone know or can find it, please.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this helps place it  at all ... there is a newspaper mention in a list of places along a rail line of "... Issacoed; Sutton; Bangor, otherwise Bangor Issacoed, otherwise Bangor -Monachourm ..."

There’s a place near Bangor on Dee called Sutton Green on Google Earth.

Hi Gadget,

Davedrave beat me to finding it on the map. That's the one I found, Sutton is just north of Pickhill and Bangor is y coed.

Thanks all for the map links.


I now see it just north east of Pickhill (another branch lived there!). I was looking  more to the west of Bangor

Wasn't there a bit of Flintshire tagged on to the South West of Denbighshire and in this bit of Flintshire were small colonies which were part of Denbighshire (may have got this wrong!) but how did that all come about ?

Yes it was referred to as Maelor Saesneg


Not all that far from where I was born and grew up

My g-grandparents came from Overton - think they were Welsh speakers - moved to the Vale of Clwyd about 1880.
