I assume that you already know that Glamorgan Family History Society have
published the parish records for Dowlais St Illtyd's from 1836 to 1900. They
may be found on the 'GFHS Booklet publications' link on the Glamorgan Family
History Society web site.
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wlsglfhs/book1.htm#Parish Registers
Also on the Glamorgan FHS web site are links to where you can order GFHS
publications online.
If you or your nephew are members of GFHS you could of course use the
look-up service.

Subject: [GLA] St Illtyd's parish records needed
Hello Everyone, I really hope someone can help my nephew and me.
I sent the email below several times over several months back in 2009 to
. library.services(a)merthyr.gov.uk and received no answer at all.
To summarize the email below:
Alan George on his Merthyr Tydfil website said the Merthyr Library has
the parish records of birth, marriage and death (1836-1900) from St.
Illtyd's Church (see relevant portion of his email below).
My gg parents were married there in 1876 and their first child was born
in Dowlais a year later. I have the Civil Records for both the marriage
and the birth. I'd like to get the Church records for the marriage and
baptism of these people.
Now my nephew is going to be in Merthr Tydfil and visiting the St.
Illtyds Church next week. This will be his first time in the UK. He will
have copies of the Civil Records with him.
Anybody have any ideas on what he could do in person to get these parish
records.
Can we go to the RC Church St. Illtyd's for the records?
How does one contact the church?
Where is the Merthyr Library ?
What's their address?
Do they have these records as Alan says?
What are the hours they are open?
We are not UK citizens and are from elsewhere and have no clue on how to
do this in person.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much,
Mary

Hello,
I learned from Alan George on his Merthyr Tydfil website that you have
the parish records of birth, marriage and death (1836-1900) from St.
Illtyd's Church (see relevant portion of his email below).
My gg parents were married there in 1876 and their first child was born

and the birth. I'd like to get the Church records for the marriage and
baptism of these people.
What is the procedure for doing this?
Thank you,

« Reply #2 on Feb 6, 2009, 10:27pm » The Civil marriage certificate
can be obtained from KEW BUT the St Illtyds Church records are NOT
available from Kew or from the local registrar. The records are in the
Church itself and Merthyr Library has photocopies of the originals
1836-1900 and Merthyr Library could supply a photocopy......
