Finding a place in Denbighshire Wales
I have a hand written paper that I found in my dad's Genealogy. In it it shows a list of about 10 lines of first and last name and where born, and 3 has dates. What I see is born at Wite or White Rock (both spellings are on the paper) near Brymbo Damby Shire N Wales, another one says near Wrexham Demby Shir N.W. The dates on would be between 1795 to 1810. My question is where is White or Wite Rock? The family is from Denbighshire County Wales so I am assuming Demby is Dengighshire. I wish I could share the paper but not sure if that is possible, Thank You for your service.

Brymbo is definitely in Denbighshire. The wiki page for Brymbo says that it was part of the Wrexham parish.Here is the Wiki page for it:
In the Denbighshire Wiki page it says that Wrexham was another city in Denbighshire. Since Brymbo was part of the same parish, it is likely the two were close to one another.
However, I have not seen a White Rock or Wite. But I've only done a quick search. You could check the Research links found in the homepage of this group. There are links to jurisdiction maps, censuses, gravestone indexes and more. Plus there are sites to help track down Welsh ancestors.
Also, you can share a picture of your paper. Just follow the workaround described in this post:
