From Tuesday January 23, 2007
We have just uploaded a large batch of marriage indexes from the three
register offices in Montgomeryshire: Machynlleth, Newtown and
Welshpool.
The full list of updates can be seen at:
www.northwalesbmd.org.uk/update.html (English)
www.gpmgogleddcymru.org.uk/update-c.html (Welsh)
These indexes cover marriages from ninety (90) different churches and
chapels, as well as the "civil" / "registrar attended" marriages - all
from 1837, or from the first marriage after 1837, until 1950.
All the indexes to births and deaths (from 1837 to 1950) have been on
the North Wales BMD website for some time. This update completes the
marriage coverage from 1837 to 1950 - and it also completes the
project for Montgomeryshire !!!
Many thanks to Bryn Ellis, the project leader for Montgomeryshire, and
his team of volunteers, who photocopied, transcribed, and checked the
index books; and to the staff of the Register Offices in
Montgomeryshire for their support of the project.

and:
In my previous email, I stated that:
"All the indexes to births and deaths (from 1837 to 1950) have been on
the North Wales BMD website for some time."
This referred to the three register offices in Montgomeryshire - not
to the project as a whole!
Nevertheless, with today's addition of the marriage indexes, the
project *is* complete for those three register offices.
The project is also complete for Hawarden and Holywell register
offices (which are now a single "Flintshire" office, based in Mold).
Overall, the project still has some way to go - but we're getting
there :-)

I notice that the site has not been updated since May 2007. Up to this date there was regular updates to the site.
Just wondering is there any more stuff to come in the future or has work on the site now come to an end.

Hi
There have been no announcements in Hel Achau (the Clwyd FHS's journal) for quite some time. I do know that there were problems of access in some areas and transcriptions that have been completed could not be put up. Also, some areas such as Chirk and Llansilin were initially in the Oswestry Reg Dist. which gave rise to other problems.
I do have a personal e-mail for the site's webmaster and will try to contact him that way.

Hi All
Thanks for all your quick responses. I subscribe to the UKBMD mailing list and regularly get emails on updates on the county's in England, but never any updates for Wales. Some of the English county's seem to be steaming ahead with their transcribing. It would be a shame to see North Wales falling behind.
I wonder if they are having problems getting hold of people to transcribe for them. Or maybe there is just not enough interest in the project. It would be nice to know.

No, I don't think it's a transcribers problem. I can't really go into details but there were problems of access and permissions.

Hi Gadget
Ah right I see. Say no more. It would be a shame if it does not continue. As it is a great source of information.
If you ever find out anymore information that you can tell us about I would love to know.

Since no one with more up-to-date knowledge or a direct rôle in the project has come forward with information for this string, an informal bulletin I received in May 2008 may be of assistance:
"I'm pleased to be able to tell you that the project is much more advanced than might be guessed from the information shown on the website!
"All the indexes from the following register offices, from 1837 to 1950, have already been uploaded to the website: Machynlleth, Newtown, Welshpool, Holywell and Hawarden (now merged into a single register office for Flintshire, at Mold), Bala, Dolgellau, Rhyl and Ruthin.
"The good news is that our volunteers have finished transcribing the indexes, up to 1950, from all but one of the remaining Register Offices of North Wales - namely Bangor, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Caernarfon, Llandudno, Llangefni and Wrexham. (The indexes for the Llangefni office have been transcribed up to the 1990s, at the request of the Superintendent Registrar)
"All these transcriptions are gradually being checked and "pre-processed", ready for uploading to the website - in fact, I'm hoping to start uploading some of the indexes from Llandudno office within the next few days. The checking and pre-processing is really
a job for the autumn and winter, rather than the few short months with longer evenings; so I'm expecting to be able to do some fairly intensive uploading from about October onwards.
"The one office where we haven't yet started work is Pwllheli, mainly because the distance, and their short opening hours, are a major problem. Myfyr Hughes, chairman of Gwynedd FHS, is trying to find volunteers who live in the Pwllheli area to tackle the initial work of (digitally) photographing the index books, so that we can subsequently distribute the images to our volunteers for transcribing. We're keeping our fingers crossed!"
Hope this helps. The thought in the spring seems to have been that progress now should come quite soon. Of course the situation could have change in the meanwhile -- so this should be taken as a May snapshot rather than any sort of firm forecast.
