Hi John Ball, Thank you for this idea about Defynnog. I will have a look
there. I should have thought of it myself...but I didn't. Gwen

I am trying to find the burial place for a child named Elizabeth Price...
christened in Dec.1858 at Rhydbryw Church near Sennybridge
and ... d/o of Morgan and Jane Price. I have the BT's via the LDS for
Llywel
parish church but the recording of burials stops in 1858. She may be
buried
at Llywel church but I have no way of finding if she is there.

Dear Gwen,
The more common spellings seem to be 'Rhydybriw' or 'Rhyd-y-briw'.
Capel Rhydybriw was a chapel of ease for St Cynog's, the parish church at
Defynnog, so it would be worth your checking the burials at St Cynog's. St
Cynog's is only 1 kilometre from Rhydybriw, whereas St David's Church at
Llywel is 5 kilometres away.
Capel Rhydybriw is at UK grid reference SN919291.
You can call up a highly detailed (1:10,560-scale) late 19th century map
of
this area by going to the Old Maps website at
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/
On the main page, click on the illustration which states "Click here to
begin your search". On the search page which appears, enter 291900 and
229100 into the co-ordinates search fields and click the GO button
alongside.
When the map appears, click on the "Enlarge Map" icon on the right-hand
tab.
A highly detailed map of the area will open in a new window, showing
Capel
Rhyd-y-briw and the surrounding area.
Kind regards,
John
