Fwd for Glyn whose address appears not to be subbed. The book is listed on the Lookup Exchange, and on the Pem Genuki page. As list administrator I have no objection in this instance to a one off message from the author which I assume will describe the book in detail, as well as explain how it can be purchased :-) Gareth List Administrator for Dyfed, CGN & PEM.

Does anyone know the location for a town (VERY small I understand) of Rhydwilym? This is listed as the town of origin for my ancestor who came to the U.S. in 1711, and for the birthplace of his father in 1638, although spelled Riddillyn on histories here. Sally

It certainly cannot in any way be described as a town - not even a very small town! The chapel is at grid reference SN114248. It is located about 6 miles north of the town of Narberth (Pembrokeshire). Go to the Streetmaps website, select "Landranger grid" and type SN114248 into the search field. A detailed map will be displayed centred on the chosen coordinates. Rhydwilym Chapel is not identified by name, but is marked by a small black cross " + ". I believe Robert Hemphil, a regular Dyfed List contributer, has researched this area quite extensively. Unfortunately, I don't have a note of his e-mail address.

Hi Sally To add a little to what John said. From the Rawlin's book; Rhydwilym Baptist Church was embodied as a regular church in 1667 and was the mother of all the Baptist chapels in Pem, western CMN a most of southern CGN. The chapel was first built in 1701. The memorial inscriptions index produced by the Dyfed FHs are available for lookups on the Lookup Exchange. Gareth List Administrator for Dyfed, CGN & PEM.
