The IGI has indexed the parish records of Bedwas (baptisms) up to 1875.
Does anyone know if the actual records go beyond that date and whether
they can be seen at Cwmbran?
Similarly the IGI has Bassaleg Bethel Baptist baptisms up to 1837. Do
the records go later and can they be seen at the record office?

Dear David,
According to "The Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers":
- the original parish registers for Bedwas, from 1635 to 1971 are
deposited at the Gwent County Record Office, Cwmbran.
- the original parish registers for Bassaleg, from 1742 to 1922 are also
deposited at the Gwent County Record Office.
I do not know about Baptist registers but the civil birth registration
records from 1837 to the present are available from the General Register
Office and the relevant local register office.
Kind regards,
John
