Many thanks for so much on the family. I notice that the minister who christened Ann Gething daughter of James Gething and Mary in 1833 was Rev. Thomas Thomas. According to an 1871 history of the Independents in Wales (Hanes Eglwysi Annibynol Cymru), Rev. Benjamin Evans followed Thomas Thomas as minister and finally William Gethin (Gething on Caerleon.net) who came from Bristol. On Caerleon.net the christening by William Gething was that of Richard James in 1836. According to the 1871 history, William Gething sold the old chapel and built a new one, but there was reliance on a loan which was made by Mrs Powell, widow of a Mr T Powell. In her will she left that money to a nephew and on her death the nephew took possession of the chapel and locked it up. With this the cause failed. The history does not say what happened to Rev. William Gething.
