Wales is quite a big place. There are more active lists for smaller areas
within Wales.

Glamorgan

Monmouthshire (Gwent)
http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/WLS/POWYS.html for
Breconshire, Radnorshire and Montgomeryshire
http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/WLS/DYFED.html for
Carmarthenshire,Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire
http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/WLS/CLWYD.html for
Denbighshire and Flintshire
http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/WLS/WLS-GWYNEDD.html for
Merionethshire, Caernarvonshire and Anglesey
among others, all shown on
http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/WLS/
For the Radnorshire query it is worth looking at
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/RAD/
To see which parishes are on Familysearch (IGI) have a look at Hugh Wallis's
site
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumb...
and compare with the total list of parishes in the GENUKI page.
Radnorshire parish registers that are not on IGI may be at Powys Archives in
Llandrindod
http://www.powys.gov.uk/index.php?id=647&L=0&
or maybe in National Library of Wales
http://www.llgc.org.uk/ which has
English and Welsh language versions.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CAE/Llandudno/index.html deals with
Llandudno.
It is also worth looking at John Ball's Images of Wales
http://www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/index.htm
and Gareth's Help Pages
http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html
There does not seem to be an account of Ann MORGAN's conviction in the
'Cambrian' newspaper index

This List is the quietest List I am subbed to!! In fact it has been silent
for the last 3 weeks so I shall be v interested to see if you get an answer.
Like you I have never done any research in Wales before and will be pleased
if there is any suggestions as to where I can look for help. I am
interested in a relative of mine who moved to LLandudno in the early years
of the last century but have had no replies yet.
Sorry I can't be of more help

Subject: [WALES-GEN] Ann MORGAN of Radnorshire
Hello List,
I am new to Welsh research, but have been doing my family tree for a
number of years.
I would like to find out what, if any, resources are available online to
help me in my search of Ann MORGAN.
This week I found out that this lady married into my family. Ann MORGAN
was tried at the Radnor Quarter Sessions on 18 April 1828 for the theft of
a watch (although she had two prior offences), and was sentenced to a term
of 7 years in New South Wales.
Ann MORGAN was on board the "Princess Royal", which departed 6 January
1829, and arrived in New South Wales on 9 May 1829. I have no idea if she
spent the time difference between her conviction and sailing on board one
of the hulks, or in a gaol.
>From her convict records, Ann was 19 years old in 1829, and her death
>record shows she was 42 years old in 1852. So it seems Ann MORGAN was born
>around 1810, and was a native of Radnorshire. The only Ann MORGAN listed
>on the IGI around this time was baptised in 1813 in Llanbadarnfawr.
I would like to find out a bit more about Ann MORGAN if possible. The
records in Australia have no more information on her beginnings, so I have
no idea where she came from, who or parents were, or anything else. If
anyone can suggest a few websites for me to explore, or if Ann MORGAN is
on their tree, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Many thanks, fingers crossed I can learn a bit more about Ann.
Cheers
