Hi Tudur, Clive and All,
Try this link
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/content/news/wales-june12 , which
is the June newsletter. As well as links to the pdfs on this page, in the
lower half of the page you will see a blue link for "Search the Welsh Parish
Records Now"
When you go into that link, you put in the person's details, but note that
there are 3 tabs on that page, for separate baptism, marriage and burial
searches. So you have to search each event individually.
Hope this helps
Hilary

Hello everyone,
I don't wish to appear stupid, but how - exactly - can I find the records ?
I can't see a way of getting to them from the pdf files as posted. Can
someone help an idiot, please ??
Regards
Tudur

Hi Clive and All,
Have not subscribed yet and having read your message, thought I would do a
quick trial search. One thing I found was that you have to put the County
and Parish spellings as seen in the Welsh Parish Coverage pdf on the Find my
Past site
http://www.findmypast.co.uk/content/welsh-collection/parish-registers . From
here you can go into the separate pdf pages to show the Parishes coverage
for Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. and see how the Parish names are spelt
as well as seeing the dates covered. So, for example, in Brecknockshire (not
Breconshire), Crickadarn is spelt as Crucadarn. Crickadarn spelling brought
up nothing for me, but Crucadarn had the full coverage for my surname of
interest
You may well have worked this out already, but just in case.......
As regards your ancestor, remember that Brecon was divided into 3 Parishes,
Brecon, St David, Brecon St John (and Brecon St John the Evangelist) and
Brecon, St Mary.
All the best,
Hilary

Hi John
I was pleased to hear, until . . .
The thought occurred to me to test the findmypast search facility, by
checking the baptism for Henry Thomas Payne at Llangattock, Brecknockshire,
on 30th November 1760. However, I have received the message that there are
NO results! Another entry that I understand is present in the Llangattock
parish records (from past correspondence via the POWYS list) is the burial
of Edward Kendall at Llangattock in March 1807 - but, again, no results . .
. !
I'm also interested in the burial of William Williams, who died at Brecon on
27th April 1812, but there also doesn't seem to be a record for him, either.
On first trial it would appear that the coverage is not quite so wide or so
accurate as claimed . . . ?
Looks like I'll have to make the anticipated journey to the Powys County
Archives Office after all!
Best regards
Clive Gardener
