Hi Shirley,
The Rev David Davies was the Baptist minister of Bwlch-y-Sarnau chapel in
1880, so it seems likely that that is where the marriage took place.
According to Margaret Ivy Sims Jones' book 'The Forgotten Composer Edward
Meredith Price...' Rev David Davies became co-pastor of Bwlch-y-Sarnau
chapel in 1859 due to the ill health of the founding minister, the Rev
Stephen Pugh, and served there until he resigned in 1886. Rev Stephen Pugh
died in 1872, so it would seem that David Davies was the sole minister at
Bwlch-y-Sarnau chapel in 1880. He also covered Nantgwyn and Beulah chapels.

Subject: [POWYS] Bwlch-y-sarnau chapel RAD
I have a marriage certificate for a wedding which took place at 'Bwlchsarney
Chapel' on 16 July 1880. I have found details of the Bwlch-y-sarnau Baptist
Chapel (including on John's website - thank you!), but this certificate says
that the marriage took place 'according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the
Independents'. Does anyone know whether there was also an
Independent/Congregational chapel at Bwlch-y-sarnau, or whether this can
refer to the Baptist chapel? (Some later members of the family were indeed
Baptists.) The minister's name is given as David Davies.
Many thanks, Shirley
