Hi Elsie
Just a quick aside - my g.g. grandparents were married in Zion Baptist
Chapel, Trosnant in 1877.
It took me a while to locate it - it is now a Masonic Lodge and somewhat
chopped about - although the basic fabric of the building is in reasonable
order.
I have some recent pictures if they're of any interest?
Regards
Mark Breeze in Derbyshire

Hi Paul,
Yes, I am aware that Dafydd Llwyd is David Lloyd. I already received notice
that my book has shipped and should arrive in the next 2 days. I'm quite
excited. There may be more information I can get from it since part of my
family was from the Aberduar Baptist Chapel in Llanybydder, CMN.
I still need to confirm the birth of a son as I initially posted since I
couldn't find anything in the birth registrations for Pontypool.
Rev. David Lloyd ISAAC's wife was Jemima (nee Thomas). She is listed as
being from Eastgate, Neath. I'm wondering if she may have gone home to
Neath to have the baby. There is a birth in SEPT. 1846 in Neath for a David
ISAAC.
Does anyone have any clues where I could find records for Trosnant Baptist
Church, Pontypool in 1846 other than traveling to Wales myself? If not, it
may just have to wait until I make the trip next May.

Elsie,
That's a good price. It's a substantial book. By the way, I assume you
realised that Dafydd Llwyd is simply the Welsh form of David Lloyd.
Cofion.
Paul.

Hello Again Paul,
I was able to order this book from Barnes and Noble for 4.4 GBPs, so I did
so. Since many in my early family were Baptists, I decided it was a
worthwhile purchase.
Thank you again for your prompt reply to my query, and also for the title
and author of the book.

Elsie,
I have on my shelves TM Bassett's "The Welsh Baptists" published by Ilston
House in 1977. It contains a number of incidental references to Dafydd
Llwyd Isaac. Most notably, they refer to his association with schisms in
the church in Monmouthshire, his support for the use of the Welsh language
in schools and his eventual defection to the Anglican Church.
If you cannot access a copy but would like to see the references, I suppose
the best way would be for me to send you photocopies of the relevant pages.
Cofion/Regards.
Paul Morgan,
