Hello, That is interesting as a possible wife to Richard ROWLANDS was at Caerhun with her parents (he was the miller) in 1881 census - the second church that you mention here could be very interesting as it mentions the Caerhun community - perhaps this is the marriage - are these records also likely to be at Caernarfon? Yes Martin, the other church does sound like the one where the artist is now. Thanks for the visiting tip Maggie! Again, best wishes and thanks to you both. PETER FAMILY PS 'I wonder if this is the New Church in your link - SH77117355' We have just checked this - yes it does look like it's the artist's church and it actually appears to be on Denbigh side near a rare breed's farm. I think that we should follow up the Siloam Baptist Chapel. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Briscoe [mailto:mbriscoe@zetnet.co.uk] Sent: 26 April 2006 22:15 To: WLS-CAERNARFONSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [CAE] Marriage records for Rowen, Caernarvonshire There were (at least) two churches/chapels in the centre of the village.
