George,
They're not on-line, but transcriptions can be bought from the Glamorgan
FHS. They date from 1631 to 1900, though marriages have only been
transcribed to 1837.
There are the following baptisms of children of George and Ann PARCELL:
John 15 May 1836, aged 1 month
Mary Ann 6 Jun 1834 [no age given]
George is an upholsterer, the family address is simply given as Swansea.
I can see no PARCELL burials, though there is an Edward PURCILL on 18 Feb
1834, aged 4, and an Elizabeth PURSELL on 17 Feb 1821, aged 70.
Also there are the baptisms of children to a David and Anne PARSELL:
David 26 Jan 1871
Emily Louisa PARSELL 26 Mar 1868
Gertrude 26 Mar 1876
Mary Elizabeth 12 Jun 1873
David is a labourer, and the family live in St Thomas (which fits with
burials in Danygraig).
The following burials are recorded:
David PARSELL 18 Dec 1879, aged 40
Gertrude PARSELL 3 Jul 1876, aged 4 months
I can see no relevant marriages.
Regards, Peter

Subject: [Swansea] St. Mary's Church
Hello All ...
When my cousin visited Swansea in 1967 he met the Vicar of St. Mary's
Church
who informed him that their records, stored in a vault, were
available as
far back as about 1600.
I am researching the family of George Sylvester PARCELL, cabinetmaker and
upholsterer, b 1799 in Swansea d 1872 who m Ann WALKER b 1807 d 1891. Both
bur Danygraig Cemetery in Swansea. There were six children known born 1838
to 1851. My cousin had reason to believe there were other children born
prior to 1837 when Glamorgan County commenced keeping records in Swansea.
Does anyone know if the St. Mary's Church records are available on-line?
