Does anyone know which local newspapers may have been in circulation for Pontrhydfen in 1868, please? The old registers for Jerusalem Chapel appear to be lost. The chapel has been remodeled as a business although the graves are still there including a memorial to Richard Burton who was a member of the Jenkins family and was born in Pontrhydfen. Is there anyone on the list from Pontrhydfen who may have an idea who may have the registers? I know that many registers are lost for chapels. All the best Heather
