Title: LLangarren
Post by: tullig on Sunday 26 October 14 03:23 GMT (UK)
Does anyone have baptism records from 1822-1824?
I have Jemima bapt May 1824 and Elizabeth March 1822 from Ancestry but wondered if the original states father's occupation- I am hoping for a blacksmith.
Many thanks
Lynn

Sorry for this possibly-stupid question.  :-\  Is Llangarren the parish or the surname?

I can see where that question came from, I must remember to make my posts clearer ???. The place of birth is Llangarren and surname is Powell.
Thanks Lynn

As expected (by me  ;D) another incomplete entry submitted by Family Search.  At this period I would expect to see abode and occupation given for the parents.  Hopefully someone has access to the "published" parish records.

Herefordshire archives have the originals of llangarren baptisms for this period but they are closed for visits until spring 2015 while they move to new premises.

it is possible that the forest of dean fhs have transcribed this parish, you can register for free and check

I have not seen parents occupations very often on Hereford parish registers
