Hello Angharad,
Thank you so much for your help. I will Google to see what I can find. I
don't know why I didn't think of that earlier!!
Thanks again,
Brenda.

Hello Brenda
Tabernacl Calvinistic Methodist chapel as a building still stands -but no
longer a chapel -flats but looks pretty much the same from the outside.
Google and there is a small photo I saw with one of the adverts for a flat
in the building. As to cemetery as far as I know there is only Glanadda
cemetery (other than the Cathedral) - and Noncomformists would be buried
there. I found the following googling - on Rootschat which again answers
your question
.......Glanadda didn't open till 1862.
Tan y Fynwent Cemetery opened in 1840 as an overspill of the Cathedral
cemetery (which eventually closed in 1855)
Tan y Fynwent cemetery, located over the road from the cathedral near the
bus station had burials up to Glanadda opening. Around 1948 the stones
were laid flat and a garden created. Prior to this happening it was
surveyed (and the Cathedral one) by Caernarfonshire History Society and
two volumes were deposited at Bangor University Archives. MSS 7345-6
refers. 273 graves at the cathedral and around 300 at the Tan y Fynwent.
103 graves laid flat survive at the Cathedral. These have been recorded by
David Price and Mathew Lovelock. A copy, from which the above info
derives, is at Caernarfon Archives. Hopefully they may appear some time on
the Bangor Civic Society site which already has quite a lot of Historical
items re Bangor.
In the mid 19th century several Bangor residents were buried at Pentir
Graveyard. Gwynedd Family History Society have transcribed these MI's.
There are also more recent Bangor & district burials at Pentir. But I
would suspect it would be at Glanadda which is on the Caernarfon Rd not
far from the railway bridge at the old Plaza cinema end
Hope this helps
Angharad
