Hello all,
The joint co-ordinators of the project to place the details of the index books maintained
by local registrars on to the North Wales BMD website have advised me that they have added
the following during the last few days.
Welshpool Registration District
Llansanffraid ym Mechain subdistrict
Births indexes:
1837 - 1950
(22,109 entries)
This subdistrict was made up of the parishes of Llanfechain, Llansantffraid, Llandrinio
and Llandysilio.
This update also includes 500 births from the short-lived subdistrictof Meifod, which
apparently existed only from 1837 until 1841, when it was merged into Llansantffraid
subdistrict.
Many thanks to the volunteers from Montgomeryshire
Genealogical Society who have assisted me in the photocopying, transcribing and checking
of these indexes. Also to the Registrars at the Welshpool Office who have given me
considerable help.
Work is continuing on the other sub-districts within Montgomeryshire, concentrating on
births in the first instance.
The above index books can now be searched at:
