Hallo Alberbury,

Well that Henry is indeed my Henry Owen. He died may 1824. Firstly thankyou for all you have helped with. A while ago I was browsing through archive.org of the mont. collections and found that he was a butcher and I think his father was John also a butcher and a Burgess of Welshpool but don't know yet about his mother.
Can I join the library over there and search and have access to the records on line ?

I may even go and try famsearch.org for awhile.

many thanks
Helen

Could not see Henry Owen's baptism on familysearch.
You now know Henry's date of birth, and father, I would suggest a posting on the common room board. As the Montgomeryshire board is a bit slow.
FindmyPast.com have all the Montgomeryshire Parishes I believe. Hopefully someone can do a lookup.
