Hi Carolyn,
Cwmnantddu was the site of a coal mine where a lot of local people worked
and died.
I live about 10 mins walk from the parish church in Trevethin, if you need
any help whilst you are over here let me know and I will send you my contact
details off list.

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
