Montgomeryshire Parish Records

Your other alternative is to make a trip to the National Library of Wales if possible.

There also appear to be a handful of non-conformist records at Powys Archives in Llandrindod Wells, and as the main local record office, they are likely to hold other kinds of record which will help you. As a newcomer to their website I found it fairly easy to find information on what they hold - the Our Records link in the left hand menu seems to be a good way in.

They are absolutely free if you care to go to the National Archives. What you're paying for is the convenience of being able to view the records from home. I think you'd probably have to pay to look at quite a lot of online non-conformist records to match the cost of travelling to Kew.

Absolutely - you've knocked the nail on the head - I have no doubt that at some point I will need to visit the Archives, but I'm weighing up the cost and time of visits to Archives, against subscribing to any information available online - Thanks again.

Thanks Arthur - The records from my area of interest appear to be limited - but just going to take another look !!
