Hi Libby I've made some notes from the chapel registers and graveyard about the Cray family of Maiden Wells for someone else. I'll dig them out & send offlist if you'd like. The chapel is still there, I think the 1846 date refers to the building which is now used as the Sunday School room - it's opposite the chapel which was built later. Regarding records, they are still in the chapel. There are no christenings recorded before about 1950, and the marriages begin around 1900. The burials start from about 1879. The village itself is small, more of a hamlet really. Its situated about a mile outside Pembroke town. Yerbeston lane is the lane that leads from Maiden Wells to St Petrox. best wishes Sandra > > Hello everyone, > I recently received a marriage certificate for the above 2 > parties.
