Title: Birchenald Township
Post by: Rosedale on Friday 04 March 16 23:21 GMT (UK)

Hello,

I have some ancestors born late 1700s and their baptisms list place of birth as "Byrchanillt."
I think this refers to Birchenald which genuki states was a township of ancient Mold.  I would be interested to know what modern day area Birchenald township covered?

If I can play my WILD  card or "joker"  even, please?

It actually sounds or looks similar to Birkenhead.

Funnily enough, there is also a village called "New Brighton"  near to Mold.

Its a mystery.

I've solved the mystery - Birchenald township seemed to be the western side of what is now just Mold, above what was the Broncoed township, and east of Gwernymynydd.

Hopefully this is helpful for others too.
