Need help with registration district please?
« on: Wednesday 19 September 12 23:55 BST (UK) »
Hi - I want to order a birth certificate for an ancestor, but there are several people with the same name at the same time, so I'm not sure which is the right one.  Here's what I know - in all censuses (except 1841 which doesn't really specify) his birthplace is listed as Tredegar.  In 1841 and 1851 he lived in Bedwellty.  He was born in either 1839 or 1840 (his age varies in the different censuses).  His older sister was born in 1834 in Blaina.
The certificate options I have are for: Crickhowell, Newport, or Abergavenny.  If he was born in Tredegar, or Bedwellty, which of those would be the one his birth would be registered in? 
Thanks VERY much for any help!  (BTW, his name is Joseph Davies.)  Thank you!

By the looks of it the one you want is Abergavenny

http://ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/abergavenny.html

If when you are on FreeBMD you click on the registration district name it takes you to a new page you then click on the link there and it shows you the areas in that registration district.
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.
