Pontypridd is in Glamorgan rather than Monmouthshire. Norton Bridge is a
district in Pontypridd, also known as Pont Sion Norton. Presumably a chap
called John Norton built a bridge, presumably over the river Taff or a
tributary. Norton Bridge is on the east bank of the Taff, north-east of the
centre of Pontypridd, a little south of Cilfynydd and north of Coedpenmaen.
A Google maps search for Norton bridge, Pontypridd finds a bus stop outside
Norton Bridge Methodist Chapel, in Pontshonnorton Road.
Maesycoed Road,Pontypridd seems to be west of the centre of Ponty, on the
southern slope of the Rhondda valley, near the Sardis Road rugby ground.
If in doubt, try several mapping sites. I started to have doubts about
Multimap when it gave me directions to turn right off the M4 between
junctions!

and Cilfynydd in the old Eglwysilan parish.

Subject: [MON] Norton Bridge, Pontypridd
Can anyone help me please with an address in Pontypridd?
On my grandmothers marriage certificate her residence in 1922 is given as
Norton Bridge, Pontypridd. However if i check this on multimap it
directs me
to Maesycoed Road, Pontypridd. It this the same place, just with a name
change?
Many thanks.
Tina
