Civil parish vs ecclesiastical district in 1871 census?
« on: Saturday 13 December 14 16:09 GMT (UK) »
I have details of an address of Reform Street, Gelligaer.  The civil parish is Gelligaer, and the ecclesiastical district is Pontlottyn.
Am I right in thinking that the local address would now read Reform St, Pontlottyn, Gelligaer.  Or was there also a Reform St in Gelligaer?
Many thanks.

Hi
You are correct; address is Reform St, Pontlottyn (Pontlottyn was a village in Brithdir hamlet, Gelligaer Parish) Today it would read Reform Street, Pontlottyn, Caerphilly County Borough.
anything and everything to do with the village of Brithdir, near New Tredegar in Gwent.
