I'm assuming you have access to most of Montgomeryshire PRs on FindMyPast:

This area is also close to Shropshire, so have you tried searching FamilySearch?

Also note that there are a number of parishes in this area with no coverage, Churchstoke, Hyssington, Snead and probably others. Further, many of the Shropshire parishes are only covered up to 1812 in this area. So if you have searched FindMyPast and FamilySearch, you will need to start looking at original registers for the area where there is no coerage.

See here for detail of when parishes are covered on FamilySearch:
