Hello,
The parish of 'Pool' was the old name for the town of Welshpool. The
parish
records can be viewed on film at the Powys Archives at Llandrindod
Wells
and
the National Library at Aberystwyth. But they have also been
transcribed
and
published by the Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society - see their
list of
publications, and how to join, at
