Len, If you go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk and enter the coordinates 306524 207912 in to the search box that brings up a map of the town of Dowlais. Select the 1900 1:2500 map and St John's Church is clearly shown. A short distance south, one or two streets you will see Well Street. Trust this helps. It is no absolute proof since the Churchyard could be the common burial ground for the whole area. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Len Davies" <jpvldav@hotmail.com> To: <glamorgan@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 30, 2011 2:59 AM Subject: [GLA] help with Dowlais map > > I would be grateful if someone could help me with a brick wall I have so > far been unable to resolve. > > My great grandfather Phillip Davies lived with widow Jane Rosser (nee > James) after the death of her husband David Rosser and they produced three > Davies children.
