I had an aunt from this Penygraig, the one in Brymbo. The name is still widely used.

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?

Hello I have just joined this site tonight and if your still interested I own a derelict house in Glyndyfrdwy called pen-y-graig which is in denbighshire. I dont know if this is the place your looking for or maybe by now have found. Hope this helps.
