Title: Baptisms 1860/61 Cwmbach,Aberdare and Tredegar
Post by: scriv2 on Monday 05 May 14 08:21 BST (UK)

Please can anyone advise where I can find/search the baptism records for Cwmbach, Aberdare and Tredegar in 1860/1861.

I am looking for the baptism of John Edwards, son of Thomas Edwards and Ann. He was born in Cwmbach, Aberdare, but the baptism might have been in Tredegar.

It is probably Non-Conformist.

Any pointers gratefully received.

As you probably know non conformist parish registers are more difficult to search for. There are some non conformist records for Tredegar on Ancestry, but I am not sure of the dates. There are also many Anglican parish records for Wales on Findmypast.

Thanks very much for your reply. I have trawled through Ancestry's non conformist records and Findmypast's parish records and also the LDS records at Kew - all with no result.

I must now assume that the family is chapel. Ah well...

Hi,
Tredegar is in the Gwent area for which you would need to contact Gwent Archives.
