    1. [MON] Llanover or Hanover Chapel??
    2. Ruth Ann Baker
    3. Recently received a marriage certificate and need help in reading name of the chapel. Across the top of the 1859 certificate it says "Marriage solemnized at Hanover Chapel (or Llanover Chapel) in the district of Abergavenny in the county of Monmouthshire". Both the bride and the groom were residents of Abergavenny at the time of the marriage. Another line reads "Married in the Hanover Chapel according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Independents by me Robert Thomas minister, Joseph Ellis registrar". Tried a number of different approaches online and could not successfully determine which name is correct nor find a chapel by either name in Abergavenny. Can anyone recommend a place to look to tell if what looks like a capital H to me is actually a double ll in handwriting? Ruth Ann in United States
