On 14 May 1895 Robert PAYNE my great granduncle married a widow Harriet
LAMBSDEN (nee PAYNE) in the Register Office, Rhayader, in the Counties of
Radnor & Brecon.
When I look at the Country Codes Wales (WLS) and the counties/shires BRE
Brecknockshire; RAD Radnorshire I see that Radnor and Brecon are given as
separate counties. Could SKS please give this "Kiwi" a short history lesson
as to when they became one and why do I now find Rhayader as part of POWYS.
[Harriet is only related by marriage as far as we know at the present time
even after searching. Her father was a Lance Sergeant in the Barracks,
Watton Brecon in 1881 24th Regiment]
