Can you shed any light on the origin of the word Moreia/Moriah? Baffled. Cannot find it in my Bible or on maps of the Middle East.
Dear Linda
Moriah is in the Old City of Jerusalem and a sacred area to Christians, Jews and Muslims; it is the place of the Jewish Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock, a Muslim shrine.
In Genesis chapter 22, God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac on Mount Moriah – and once Abraham had proved his willingness to do this, God provided him with an animal sacrifice. After this, Abraham named the place ‘God will provide’.
It is a popular name for Welsh chapels, due to its Biblical significance. Several chapels are named after geographical areas with Biblical significance – and mountains in particular, e.g. Carmel.
I hope that this helps

Hello
My great great grandparents were married in Kinnerton Chapel in Old Radnor on 21st May1850. I have been searching for information on the Chapel, so was pleased to find this website. I have now located it on Google Street View – looks like someone is ‘doing it up’ to live in: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.2612635,-3.1095337,3a,90y,232.95h,84.26t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1s-8DWPORkq2RFVNXBLde_-g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!9m2!1b1!2i53?hl=en-GB
The marriage record of my ancestors Abraham Bounds and Elizabeth Williams is attached. I hope it is of interest.
All the best
