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 :-)
