Risca Parish Record
« on: Friday 19 June 15 20:33 BST (UK) »
From the Family.Search site I have found that the person I am researching was baptised in Risca on 1-8-86.

How do I find the name of the church?

Baptisms for Risca are on find my past, however they only note the parish of Risca and the county.
You could try a search on free reg, not knowing the name you are searching for I tried it with the name Jones and it noted the church.

Victor, thanks for your help but I need to identify the church.

Colin, thanks for advising me about that site.  It will be very useful but not in this case.  He isn't listed.

I wonder if I should go to County Records Office.

Registers for St. Mary's Parish Church Risca are held at Gwent Archives Ebbw Vale.

You didn't specify whether 1786, 1886 or 1986 so I took a look at the entry for 1-8-1886 in the Baptism Register, and there are two.

Ethel Perret and Stanley Horatio Williams, if one of these is the person you are researching let me know and I'll forward further information.

Hi GerryP, sorry to be so late replying but I've just got back from holiday.

Stanley Williams is the one I'm looking for and I would be very grateful for any information.
