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.

Look for it on this site. It usually says what Church it was or if it was Civil. It won't say which Chapel.
My parents married in a Chapel and it's on here as a Civil..

The marriage certificate should say where it took place.

Chapel records are not easy to find.

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.

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?

Have you checked her in 1939 register,  or her father.
Wern is outside Minera.

Postcode finder gives it as a valid address and a link to a map, but I cannot pin it down any closer.
