Subject: [Mon] Ebenezer Chapel Blaenavon
Hi to All,
Would anyone know if the church records are available for the Ebenezer
Chapel Blaenavon - please.
Have just paid for a search of the GRO records for a marriage and it
cannot
be found.
It was prior to 1851 (1st child born that year) and of course with names
William Davies and Mary Morgan - I know it was never going to be easy -
but
Mary's Dad was Abednego so I thought that it was going to make
things a
bit
easier ( I Dream)
Know for sure that the Morgan side were Baptist and in the 1851 census Dad
(Abednego) has a lodger - Griffith Havard age 27 Baptist Minister Eb?
Chapel.
Have checked the LDS Library Catalogue but the Ebenezer Chapel does not
rate
a mention- have also checked Genuki - so I am assuming that the
records
are
not available.
Hoping that a wise person may know if the Church Records are still in
existence.
Need to find William's Dad. William died here in Australia in a mining
accident age 64 - so his death corticate was issued by the Coroner - which
did not state parent's names only children.
Fingers crossed.
Regards.
Chris Riley (better half of Ian )
