Does anyone have any records of a family with the surname SIMMONDs in the Presteigne area in the 1880s/1900s please - very vague I know but having to start somewhere!

It is right on the welsh border and seems to move between herefordshire and radnorshire depending on the decade!!

Presteigne is in Radnorshire, now part of Powys.

The Welsh Border runs right against the town edge, one side of the bridge is Wales, the other in England. There is confusion with Copy Certificates, as originally there was a single Registration District for the area, Hereford and Radnor, so always worth looking in both Radnorshire and Herefordshire for Parishes in this area.

Thank you - I live 10 miles from presteigne in herefordshire and have found it listed in both England and wales! Makes the search more challenging!!
