Hi List, Is Penrhos a locally used abbreviation for Penrhosgarnedd or are they two different areas of Bangor? Happy burrowing, Raymond

The area of Penrhosgarnedd, on the western outskirts of Bangor, is generally referred to as Penrhos. There is an Anglican church, St. Peter's (established 1878. rebuilt 1956-7), a CM chapel, Capel y Graig (1860s?), and a primary school, Vaynol [Faenol], (established early 19th-cent). The area was in the parish of Bangor, but since 1888 has been in the civil parish of Pentir. The first place to look for graves of Penrhos folk is Pentir (both graveyards recorded and published by GFHS). Regards, David Price, Bangor. -----Original Message----- From: raymond west johnson [mailto:westjohns@rayjay.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: 04 March 2006 15:35 To: WLS-CAERNARFONSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Penrhos, Bangor Hi List, Is Penrhos a locally used abbreviation for Penrhosgarnedd or are they two different areas of Bangor?
