Further indexes relating to Mntgomeryshire have been uploaded to the North Wales BMD
site:
Welshpool Register Office
Civil Marriages - Llanfyllin Registration District
1884 - 1917
1694 entries
Until 1898, the Registrar had to be present, by law, at all marriage ceremonies that took
place in Nonconformist chapels and Roman Catholic churches - and also, of course, at those
that took place in the Register Office! He/she recorded all these marriages in the same
Register - hence they are all described as "civil" marriages.
The parishes in the Llanfyllin registration district were:
Llangynyw
Llanfair Caereinion
Llanerfyl
Llangadfan
Garthbeibio
Llanfihangel yng Ngwynfa
Meifod
Llanfyllin
Llanfechain
Llansanffraid ym Mechain
Llandrinio
Llandysilio
Llangedwyn
Llangadwaladr
Llanarmon Mynydd Mawr
Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant
Hirnant
Llanwyddyn
Pennant Melangell
Llangynog
Although the district covered a considerable area, it was (and is!) lightly populated.
Many thanks to my team of volunteers for their work in
photocopying, transcribing and checking all these indexes; and to the staff of Welshpool
Register Office for their active co-operation in the project.
