Hi,
This is my first venture into Wales! I feel I should know the answer to my question but cannot for the life of me find the answer on the internet.
I need to apply for a Welsh marriage certificate and want to apply to the local registration office (I understand it is cheaper to do this - sorry to sound mean).
The marriage took place in Q3 1952 Cardiganshire South Vol 8a page 464 - between Leslie T Batchelor and Myrtle T Sutter (nee Foster) - this is all the info I have but I suspect is enough.
Where/how do I apply online to the local office for this. Many thanks.
Sue

The Register Office for South Cardiganshire is at:
Glyncoed Chambers, Priory Street, Cardigan, SA43 1BX
01239 612684 Moderator comment: phone number incorrect (see below)
It doesn't appear to have a website. However, so far as I know The cost of a BMD certificate is usually £7 whether you order from the GRO
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/
or from a local register office. You can order online from the GRO, but I think from other register offices you can only order by post - and some of them will charge you postage on top of the £7.
If you know which church the marriage took place in, you may be able to get a copy of the parish register entry from the local archives - which is generally cheaper than an official copy - but unless you do know the church, it would be impossible to expect anyone at the archives to find it.

Hi Gallium,
Many thanks, I will ring them tomorrow (Monday). The reason I want to get the info so fast is because I want his dod which I don't know. He apparently committed suicide by shooting himself on a train. I would like to know where he did this because it will give me a clue as to where he expected to have been left land (this was the cause of his suicide - there was no land). If I can find out - perhaps from his death cert or even inquest paperwork, I may be able to find out where I am searching for my GGG Grandfather - I had thought it was Cheshire!
Who knows - it is worth a try and sadly my anc.co membership is about to expire and I am not planning to renew it.
Thanks again, Sue

Hi Gallium,
The phone number for the Cardiganshire BMDs is actually not them - I spoke to a very nice, patient, gentleman twice - he was very understanding!
I think I may have to do it by post.
Sue

I'm sorry about that Sue. The same number appears on several internet sources for details of Cardigan Register Office - I can't see a different one. On the other hand, yell.com doesn't recognise 'Register Office' 'Cardigan' as having a phone number.
You could try Aberystwyth Register Office - which does have a yell.com listing. At least they should know whether the Cardigan office is still there.

Hi Gallium
Many thanks, I will give it a try. You don't by any chance know the address of the Cardiganshire Registrars Office - do you think it would be reasonable to send it to CRO hoping the postman will find it?
Probably best, however, if I go for GRO but I sort of understood it was better to go for local office (less chance of errors!)
Sue

Hi Gallium and Moderater,
I tried the number again this am 01239 612684 and low and behold I got through, albeit to an answerphone = the office was open 10 = 12.30 (I rang at 12.40!). I have applied by mail to the address given above but just wanted to let you know the number is not incorrect but very limited times. From the message I got it is open 10 - 12.30 on a couple of days and 2 - 4 on others - my brain wan't entirely in gear and unfortunately (or fortunately for Welsh contactors) it changed to Welsh. Just wanted to let you know the info you gave is not exactly incorrect.
Sue
