Marriage Look Up Request 1817

[amanda t]

I wonder if anyone has access to the parish registers that cover the Llanfeigan area of Breconshire?

I am looking for a marriage between David Jones and Mary Pugh that took place on 2nd May 1817. I would like to know any furtherdetails held in the parish record such as parents' names, witnesses at the marriage... basically anything that could help me further my search along this line of my tree.

Thank you so much,
Amanda

Hi

Fathers names do not appear on marriage entries prior to 1.7.1837.  Mothers names are never shown on English or Welsh marriage certs

Hi Carole
I realise that is the case in general although some parish priests give more detail than they are required to depending on how thorough they are and how well known the family is to the priest....I was hoping.....

you can get a copy of that parish record entry from the archives

http://www.powys.gov.uk/index.php?id=3540&L=0

If you have the date and place of an event, most archives will supply a copy for a charge. If you don't have the details, you would need to pay their research charges.

That is very helpful Osprey, thank you.
I had no idea Breconshire is now covered under Powys, this is all quite confusing..... not to mention all the Welsh place names and trying decipher them from old census handwriting!
I feel so useless at times!

any problems can always be put on the deciphering board, though with Welsh place names you might be better off asking ion the relevant county board. 

If you check a county page on Genuki, it will give you the relevant archives

and a Welsh place name index for reference if you can't find it listed on Genuki
