asked:
I am a new member and would greatly appreciate any advice regarding a
Parish of 'Pool' in or near the town of Montgomery in the County of
Montgomeryshire as noted on our ancestor RICHARD JONES' Army record - he
was born c 1793 according to the Army record information and I wondered if
it was in any way possible to access these Parish records and the best way
to do this.
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
