Hi Elaine,
Have you tried the Ancestor Search on the LDS Website. I typed in the
names that you gave and it came up with 26 matches. Some of them may be
worth following up. Good Luck.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the list and am hoping you can help me. I have just learnt that
my gg grandparents Thomas JONES & Jennett POWELL married at the chapel of
St. George Tredegar on 6th March 1843 and resided at Rhymney. I have been
unable to find any information on them through the I.G.I. Where can I find
the parish records? Thomas was a Collier. Are there any records surviving
regarding any of the local mines?
Looking forward to hearing from you & thanking you in anticipation,
Elaine from Melbourne, Australia.

Hello Everone,
I have noticed some listers refering to the IGI as if access to it was
available on the Internet. Could somebody please confirm if this is so or
not, and if so just where can I find it. Thanks.

Hello, Llew,
The Mormon Church now has a web site, and this web site has the IGI. You can
reach the site at: http://www.familysearch.org/default.asp
Try it - I know you'll like it!

Hi Listers,

joining in. I have just learned that my gg grandparents Thomas JONES and
Jennett POWELL were married at Tredegar on 6th March, 1843. They lived at
Rhymney and Thomas was a Collier. Where can I find out more?
Thanking you in anticipation,

Hello Everyone,
Can someone help me with the date of birth of my Grandma Annie Clarke
nee Evans who married George Clarke 11 Jun 1900 Bedwellty According to
her age at the 1881 and 1891 censuses she would have been born in in
1879. She married at age twenty in and died in Mar 1932 aged 52 at 15
Lillian Road, Blackwood, Bedwellty. I have found six Ann Evanses, born
in the period 1879-1880 in the St Catherines House Index of Births and
sent to various Registry Offices for her birth certificate. Only to be
told there is no person of her parentage registered there. Her parents
were Morgan Evans born 1849 Tregaron Cardig. and Sarah Ann Thomas born
1849 Sirhowy Tredegar. My mother was born at 2 lower Coronation St
Tredegar in 1907.
After six attempts to obtain Grandmother Annie Clarke nee Evans
certificate of birth and failing I am in need of some local assistance.
I could extend my period of search and probably find more of her maiden
name but it would be of little help given the number of people of the
same name and the record of failure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sorry Elli - I'm behind with reading the mailing lists this week, and
only just found your kind words of 5th.
Yes, Abergavenny was the Registration District covering Tredegar from
1837 until Bedwelty District was formed from within Abergavenny.
Cheshire (!) FHS, within Genuki, says the creation of Bedwelty Reg
District took place in 1857. I know it was certainly created BY 1861
at the latest.

Hi Sian - before I was warned off publishing Batch #s for MON, I had
invested a great deal of time into compiling the list, but in all that
time I never found a Batch # for Aberystruth. Doesn't mean there isn't
one, but it is possible that Aberystruth has not been indexed by the
LDS.
Cheers,
Dick Williams

Dear List
Needle in a haystack time...
My g-grandfather was Thomas MORGAN, b. 1855 Tredegar. I think his parents'
names were Thomas Pugh Morgan and Mary JONES. I have found a number of T.
Morgans born in district 11a in that year - according to a recent (most
helpful!) posting from Anne Scales the town I should be looking for is
Abergavenny - is that right?
Thomas Morgan emigrated to Australia (NSW) - I believe he may have gone with
his parents as a young child. His youngest son (my maternal grandfather)
emigrated right back to the UK in the 1920s.
I don't suppose anyone else out there is looking at Morgans in Tredegar...?
At least we could eliminate each other from our enquiries....*-)
Best wishes

Hi. My gr grandfather & gr grandmother were married in St. Mary's school
chapel in Canton in 1882. Her address is listed as Cardiff, and his Canton.
The certificate states 2 counties..Glamorgan & Monmouthshire. Can someone
explain this 2 county thing to me? Is Canton in Monmouthshire? Any insight
is much appreciated.

Hi Sian
On your second point, I've some detrails on the history of St Peters in
Blaina. There have been at least 4 buildings build on the site certainly
19th and 20th C and should be 17th C also. The exact history is been
relayed to me by a long standing friend from Blaina who is preparing
his recollections of the High Street for my web page and there is actually
and article in this months parish newsletter which I'm also in the process
of getting. So will have more details soon.
On your first point where churches ?

Just a quickie which may help Sheila and others.
St David's Marriage Bonds would NOT cover Tredegar, as Tredegar was in
Llandaff Diocese, along with the rest of Monmouthshire (apart from the
Parishes of Monmouth itself and of Dixton Newton, which were in the
Diocese of Hereford - at least at some dates, including 1753-1857).
Llandaff Diocese also included much of Glamorgan, although west
Glamorgan was in the Diocese of St David's.
Also, most marriages were NOT by LICENCE, and thus would not be
recorded in any index of Marriage Bonds and Allegations.
But as the couple you are seeking gave birth in 1867, the marriage
probably took place this side of 1837, and should thus appear in the
GRO Index of Marriages. This should be available through, if not
already at, your LDS Centre. Look through all the quarter years for
the rarer name, then check in the same quarter for the OTHER name for
a matching reference number.
That is the GRO Reference number needed to buy a Marriage Certificate
at the lower price of £8 from the ONS - though with a delay of 6-8
weeks! Orders can be placed by phone, by credit card (phone +44 151
471 4816). Or one can e-mail certificate.services(a)ons.gov.uk. But
unless you are very rich, do take care not to ask for the priority
service, which, even with the full reference, costs £24! If you want
a quicker service but still cheap, try one of the London couriers who
advertise - there are some who take credit cards and have e-mail
facilities.
It is usually possible to obtain a Certificate of Birth or Death from
a local Register Office; but it is generally better not to ask a local
Office for a Marriage Certificate, as this can involve an inordinate
amount of work for the staff - most Offices have NO index to the
marriage records they hold.
Do bear in mind that the couple may have been having children for
around 20 or even 30 years before the one you are interested in. But
if you find no entry for Eliza OR Elizabeth OR Elisabeth Aubert right
back to 1837, check the indexes for John Alfred AND for John Marsden,
and try other possible spellings of Aubert to cross-reference any you
find - unusual names were often the most misspelt, so she might have
been indexed as Obert or Orbert.
If there are a great many entries for John Marsden (as I'm sure there
will be!) you might concentrate on those registered in Abergavenny and
Bedwellty, the two Registration Districts which, at different dates,
covered Tredegar - as it does seem likely the marriage took place
there, as both parties were from there. However, it is also worth
noting entries from adjoining districts, which will have the same
first part to the reference number - XXVI at earlier dates, and 11a
later.
It is of course possible that the marriage took place in Tredegar
Church - but it is far more likely that it took place in a
Non-Conformist Chapel. At that period, too, a Register Office may
have been another possibility. All these alternatives should be
covered by the GRO Index.
Good luck!

There's some discussion taking place on other Lists as to whether the
publication of Batch #s constitutes a breach of copyright law. Until I
can get this clarified, I'm afraid I will not be able to post any more
Batch #s to the list. Sorry about that, but maybe the LDS will add a
*Location* or *Parish* field to their pages - and that would do away
with the need for Batch #s.
So that's my little project shelved for the time being!
Cheers,
Dick Williams

1. Can anyone please give me some guidance in tracking down records of
baptisms, marriages and burials from Baptist chapels in the Blaenau Gwent
area? There are 4 or 5 chapels that I would like to try. Are records held
by some central body or would they still be in the hands of the individual
chapel?
2. In which Church of Wales church would the people of Aberystruth parish
have worshipped in the 17th and 18th centuries? I know there is a church in
Blaina, but understood that this was established a little later on. I ask
this because my research at Llanhilleth has drawn something of a blank, and
I would like to investigate adjacent parishes.
Many thanks,
Sian.

Here's the latest update on MON IGI Batch Numbers - thanks to Sue Adcock
for contributing recently. I'm intending to put them on a Web Site, and
am in touch with a number of owners of existing sites to see how best to
make them accessible. I even bought a book on "Design Your Own Web Site"
yesterday, but it'll take a little time to digest.(And downloading of
software on my steam-driven 75 MHz machine is a bit painful, unless I
get up at 0-dark-30 in the morning.)
In the meantime, I hope the following is useful. Further contributions
of Batch #s gratefully received.

LDS microfilm of marriage bonds & allegations #105289 for the years
1866-1870 has dark, unreadable areas, beginning 16th October, 1866. This
is where I believe the record would be for the marriage of my
g-grandparents. Would someone in the area have access to these records?
Since I live in the USA, I would appreciate advice/help with finding the
record of the marriage between John MARSDEN (b. Tredegar) and Eliza AUBERT
(b.Tredegar). My grandfather was John Alfred MARSDEN, born of this union
in Tredegar on 12th August, 1867.
Thank you, in advance, for any ideas on how I can get aroung this brick
wall that I've run into!!!!!!!
