Hi, I am trying to narrow down exactly where the above town is and also what
would have been the parish church in 1846. My g grandmother was born there
and her parents were married there in 1846. After that they returned to
Cornwall. We will be visiting the area March 7 and I would like to trip to
see the church and Cwmnantddu. Several people have helped me so far and I am
really grateful to them.



Another question I have is with Mike John's transcription of Parish
Registers. As far as I can tell there is no church listed. There are also
many abbreviations that I do not know what they stand for and could not find
definitions on the website.



"21/02/1846, Richard Lawrence, FA,B, labourer, otp, William Lawrence,
labourer, Elizabeth Tonkin, x, FA, spin, otp, Wm Tonkin, dead, Joseph
Wayman, Thomas Griffin, B"



Can someone tell me what the FA, B and otp and the B at the end stand for?
And possibly which church they were married in?



Thank you so much for any help provided.

Sincerely,



Carolyn Haines

Holt, Mi 48842
