Whilst researching some burial records for Llanycil I see that some have what appears to be Ch Ch written in the margin, so does anyone know what these mean?

Hi Nigel
Can you give an example of an entry which has the marginal note. I assume they're From the FindMyPast collection.

Yes Find My Past collection of Merioneth burials and Llanycil 1871/72

I think it refers to being buried in Christ Church, Bala ratner than St Beuno, Llanycil.
Bala was part of the parish.

Good call and thanks for that lateral thinking

I did look at some of the entries and most of them were from Bala, so checked to see if it had a separate church then. My ancestors were there 100 years earlier :)

It means Christ Church, Bala. The same Burial Register is used to record burials in the churchyard at Christ Church, Bala and at St. Beuno's Churchyard, Llanycil, Bala.
Christ Church, Bala was built about 1855, so obviously there was no churchyard actually in the town of Bala before then, the burials were all at St. Beuno's Churchyard, Llanycil, Bala.

Already mentioned
I think it refers to being buried in Christ Church, Bala rather than St Beuno, Llanycil.
Bala was part of the parish.
