Llangollen area place name COMPLETED
« on: Monday 11 November 13 13:42 GMT (UK) »
I realize this post could be in either hand writing identification or here but since it is Llangollen specific I opted for Denbighshire. In the attached pic there are 3 simultaneous Edward baptisms .... no need to reenforce the reason for the final number of Edwards families I guess! My focus is on Edward son of Isaac ap Edward. The transcription I have so far  goes like this, “Edwardus filius Isaac ab Edward do Crogen Lladys sepultus fuit 13 die Decemb. 1680”
It's the place name I cannot find & to be honest I'm not sure it is 'Lladys' ... any ideas? At the top of the pic there is also a Crogen Fddon, I know there is a Crogen Hall some 15 miles to the West of Llangollen near Llandrillo, Corwen, but it seems a little far to travel for a baptism (or burial in this case).
cheers all

Hi

It's Crogen Wladys/Wladis - a township in the Ceiriog valley - Pontfadog area. Part of the Glyn Traean:

It is Wladys isn't it! Fancy being half way to Chirk, it's not that far really 'suppose.
