Hi Shirley
There seem to be two births for a Benjamin Corfield in the period you
mention, both of whom appear to have had a wife named Catherine. They are:
DISTRICT VOL. PAGE
SEP 1845 Benjamin Corfield Knighton 26 240
DEC 1847 Benjamin Corfield Atcham 18 17
The two marriages are:
SEP 1872 Benjamin Corfield Forden 11b 293
married Catherine Hughes
DEC 1872 Benjamin Corfield Clun 6a 1141
married catherine Corfield
It would be worth contacting the local registration offices concerned first,
to check the name of Benjamin's father, in order to determine which is the
correct marriage before purchasing a certificate.
The Forden registration district seems to have been transferred first to
Welshpool and now to the Powys Register Office:

Even if the family home was at Llanllwchaiarn the birth could have taken
place at a relative's or friend's house. Knighton records now come under
Powys (see above) and Atcham under Shropshire (see above).
I hope this information helps!

Good morning
Could sks please look up Benjamin Corfield who was born (taken from
Census)
in Llanllwchaiarn circa 1845-1848. He emigrated to Canada in the early
1900's and last week a Corfield descendant contact me who knew nothing
about
any Corfield's in England. You can imagine how much information is flying
back and forth through cyber space now. The lady has sent me a
photograph
of Ben and his wife Catherine Gravestone which says 1845-1919
and although I haven't found his birth I deduced from Censuses that he was
born abt 1848.
Benjamin Corfield's parents were Benjamin and Adeliza nee Higgs.
I would be most grateful to the list if you can help.
Best wishes
Shirley (Frost)

Hello, I am interested in the Llanllwchaiarn Memorial inscription
booklet.
How can I purchase one?
Also, looking for information in Llanllwchaiarn for WILLIAM NOCK m.
ELIZABETH DAVIES. about 1797. She was from Gwestyd. I have information on
one
son, Evan (Nokes) and a bit on another son, Richard (Nokes). I believe
other
children remained Nock. I would like to find parents of William and
Elizabeth.
Thank you for any help.Tomi
