Hi Lloyd
Thanks to your directions, I have found a Marriage Bond record for a
couple (not Benbows) who are possibly my ancestors. However, I can't
work out how to order a copy direct from the Library (am I correct in
assuming that the copy will contain more information than that given on
the index?). Could you please tell me how to go about ordering?
Warm wishes

Hi,
Go to the National Library of Wales site on
www.llgc.org.uk
On the opening page click on Catalogues & Electronic
On the next page move down on the left hand Column ti ISYS
Click to search database
Select Marriage Bonds (on top of Page)
Enter Benbow in the search box
Click Search
A new screen will come up Click on Aberhonddu/Brecon 1751 - 1800 Dynion
(Male) Merched (Female) (Win Word)
The database will now be downloaded - it takes a liitle while.
Once the database is loaded just move down to Benbow and you'll find
your
entry.
And hundreds of others, have great fun going through all the
alternatives.
You can also try the St Asaph & Bangor databases for entries in
Montgomeryshire.
It is then possible to order a copy direct from the National Library.
Regards
Lloyd
