The Genuki entries have the OS grid references for these 3 chapels Gareth Hicks On 4 Nov 2013, at 23:41, CHRIS REAY <reay.nunhill@virgin.net> wrote: Hello Yvonne, Thank you for this fascinating little story that you sent to the list earlier in the week. I was very interested to learn about Trefangor as Llanddewi Velfrey is on my wish list of cemeteries to visit on one of my next trips back home to Pembrokeshire. I have a feeling that I may have a couple of missing ancestors there? However, I have three 'knowledge' requests (to save me time when I get there!) - could you tell me (or anyone else on the list?), if you know, exactly where it is located in Llanddewi Velfrey? With limited time, when I was last home I wasted a lot of time searching for chapels in villages, but simply not being able to find them as I wasn't familiar with their exact locations. Also, another chapel, is detailed on Genuki as being: 'Ffynnon , in Ffynnon [Baptists, 1720]. Records ; a petition by 90 members of this chapel to incorporate Blaenconyn Baptist Chapel, 1846, at NLW Ms 12041C SN13651690 Built 1720, modified, altered or rebuilt 1787, 1831-2 and 1850. Still open 1998' - Does anyone know if this is the one connected to Gelli Baptist Chapel next to Llawhaden and Bletherston? I thought I had found Blaenconyn / Blaenconnin (?) near Llandisillo on a recent visit, but as I found no family members, I had wondered if I was at the right place. So, a little confusion has now set in!?!? Lastly, the third and final church / chapel detailed on Genuki is: ' Bethel [Independents, 1824]. Records ; See Henllan Chapel'. Again, can anyone help me with the exact location of this chapel please? I hope nobody minds me asking these questions, but as the list is very quiet at present, I thought I would see if anyone had any further local knowledge on this area of Pembrokeshire? Thank you. Kind regards and best wishes to all on the list. Sarah in Northumberland.
