Hi All
Bit of a newbie question..........
I have been trying to find Montgomeryshire Parish Records online to enable me to find older generations. Having visited the Montgomery Genalogical Society Website, it appears that many on the records are on findmypast. I'm just wondering if it's worth subscribing? I've tried to Navigate around the site to see exactly what is available and on the surface many of the Parishes are covered - just wondering if anyone has any experience of this site for the above. Also, another newbie question, am I correct in saying that these records would not include non-conformist chapels?
Help and advice much appreciated

I have an ancestor from Leeds who went to Tregynon for a few years as a schoolmaster, and during his time there had two children baptised, one of whom was also buried. The transcriptions at Find My Past seem to be a full copy of the entries in the parish registers. From a very quick look, it appears to me that the data is only from Church in Wales parishes, not any of the non-conformist chapels, but to get a definitive answer you might need to ask either Find My Past or the society that provided the transcripts.
With sites like this, subscriptions can be quite expensive and often non-refundable, so it's usually preferable to give it a try with pay-as-you-go units before deciding if you need one. You're going to have to spend some money, though, as the terms and conditions at Find My Past prohibit subscribers from doing look-ups for others.

I have a few non-conformist baptisms for Llandinam and llanidloes, Montgomery (1811-1837). If you want to list some names/dates I can check the ones I have for you.

These non-parochial records are now available online at the bmdregisters site.

Your other alternative is to make a trip to the National Library of Wales if possible. Aberstwyth (I can never spell it right!) is quite a nice sea side to visit as well. But the NLW does have the film of non conformist registers there, and there Gwynnes Marriage Index too there, free to browse.
