Dear listers and LITTLER researchers,
The following records were transcribed from the FHL Film for
non-conformist churches in the Holywell area, # 0815980. I noted this
information as I was searching for my PARRY and JONES connections in
this area. Please note that the records I saw were only for baptisms.
Some Churches supplied more detailed information than others. I do not
know whether the non-confromist churches were allowed to marry or burial
their own members or whether they had to go to the Parish Church for
those ceremonies.

please note: This entry (723) appears to be a duplicate of the one
above(592), however, it was recorded in the 1834 baptisms and given a
separate entry number. The only item of significant difference is
spelling of the first names of the mother and grandmother and a new name
of the person who baptised the child. Perhaps another lister more
experienced than I am could comment on what they think is happening
here.

I am still researching the film for the Parish of Whitford. As soon as
I have all of the data from that film for the LITTLER family, I will
post it to the list, probably in about one month from now.
