Where Is Penygraig Denbighshire?

[wrjones]

I have a Francis Josiah Moreton who married my relative Cordelia Davies in Corwen in 1896.In the 1901 Census in Cefn Mawr he is given as born in Penygraig Denbighshire in c 1876.This is somewhere new to me!Has anyone any idea where this place was?

I don't think that's quite in the correct area, Percy 

William - it might be in the Ceiriog valley - try Googling!

I note a different spelling in at least one area

Pen-y-Graig don't know if that makes a difference

In Denbigh itself, there is a street called Penygraig.  It may be that it is from waht the old area used to be called.

Many thanks for the further replies,and whilst I always keep an open mind,I feel it could very well be in the Corwen area.

Hi William 

The Graig area which I referred to is/was in the Corwen RD - Llangollen parish. just south of Dolywern, if my memory serves me correctly - I had school friends from there.

If you've lived in that area - as you and I have done - it makes sense!

Denbigh and Glamorgan
