Dathlu Pen-blwydd Joseph Parry 🎂

Ganwyd Joseph Parry ar 21 Mai 1841, yn ystafell wely 4 Chapel Row, Merthyr Tudful.

Roedd mam a thad Joseph wedi symud i Ferthyr Tudful o siroedd amaethyddol dirwasgedig gorllewin Cymru. Gweithiodd ei fam, Elizabeth, ‘Bet’, fel morwyn yng nghartref Gweinidog Capel Bethesda a gweithiodd ei dad, Daniel, yng Ngwaith Haearn Cyfarthfa.

Roedd cerddoriaeth yn nodwedd bwysig o fywyd cynnar Joseph a dechreuodd ei addysg gerddorol yn niwylliant y Capel ym Merthyr Tudful. Fe’i magwyd yn gwrando ar y Band Cyfarthfa nodedig ac yn canu fel bachgen alto yng Nghapel Bethesda.

Os hoffech weld rhai o eitemau'r casgliad yn Archif Joseph Parry'r amgueddfa, dilynwch y ddolen isod i'r rhyfeddol Casgliad y Werin Cymru

Celebrating Joseph Parry’s Birthday 🎂

Joseph Parry was born May 21 1841, in the bedroom of 4 Chapel Row, Merthyr Tydfil.

Both of Joseph’s parents had moved to Merthyr Tydfil from the depressed agricultural counties of West Wales. His mother, Elizabeth, ‘Bet’, worked as a maid in the home of the Bethesda Chapel Minister and his father, Daniel, worked at the Cyfarthfa Ironworks.

Music was an important feature of Joseph’s early life and he began his musical education in the Chapel culture of Merthyr Tydfil. He had grown up listening to the celebrated Cyfarthfa Band and singing as an alto boy at Bethesda Chapel.
