Hi
I have ancestors married at this chapel, and am wondering if anyone knows
if it
might still exist or if there are any records which have survived
(unlikely, I know) but I'm still searching for other baptisms within this
same family which I haven't found at Bedwellty.
Thanks, Wendy

Suprisingle Google search returns a few threads on the meaning
plus a reference to the Gwent FHS
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wlsgfhs/Branches/EBV.htm
that places UCHLAWRCOED in the parish of Bedwellty (that probably
doesn't
help much in exact location)
There are spelling variations UWCHLAWRCOED & ISHLAWRCOED that return
more
results with snippets that may narrow it down if they're the
same place

"1837, December 4; English Baptist; a building called the English
Baptist
Chapel situated near Sirhowy Bridge in the hamlet of Uwchlawrcoed;
Roger
Davies of Blackwood, shopkeeper, James Marychurch, William Jones; No.
75.
(Endorsed: 1837, December 8.) "
BEDWELLTY, a parish in the lower division of the hundred of Wentllooge,
in
the county of Monmouth, 7 miles to the W. of Pont-y-pool. Newport
is its
post town. It is situated in a hilly district between the river Rumney,
on
the W., and the Sirhowey on the E., and contains the chapelries of
Rhymney
and Tredegar, the latter being now a market town, and the hamlets
of
Ishlawrcoed, Mamhole, and Uwchlawreoed. The district is rich in iron and
coal, and is the seat of an extensive iron manufacture, giving
employment to
above 1,300 hands. Between 3,000 and 4,000 persons are engaged in
the
great
ironworks and collieries in the vicinity." [From The National
