I am trying to find ggpAs birth cert in radnorshire and would really appreciate any help.    He married Gwenny Meredith in Bedwellty in 1866.  I think he was in the workhouse on the 1851 census.  Would be happy to provide any more info if reqd.  thanks in advance.

Perhaps you can tell us where you have found him in any Census?He doesn't show up too readily on any as you describe him!

I have found them in 1871 now,listed as Prosser and Gwenllian Griffiths.RG10/5387/93/46.From looking at the entry,there appears to be doubt i think as to whether his birthplace is Glasbury or Gladestry?

Supposing it is Gladestry,or its Welsh name Llanfair Llyfynwg,it is not very helpful on this occasion using Genuki to find out in which Registration District it is?

Gladestry was in Presteigne registration district until 1870.

Gladestry was in the Kington Poor Law Union, so maybe the 1851 birthplace should read Kington?
Kington Poor Law Union covered parishes in Herefordshire and Radnorshire.
