Presteigne Which Church

[jacquelineve]

Can anyone tell me the names of churches that were in
Presteigne around 1800 please?
    From the I.G.I. found a marr.rec. for Thomas Meredith
to Elizabeth abt. 1802 at Presteigne. also states Toms
death 19th June 1848.
  I need Elizabeths maiden name.

In 1841  both living in Broad St. age 60 and born in county. Thomas was a sheriffs officer( perhaps some one
can enlighten on this)
                   Is there anyone who may have connections
to this family?

                        Regards
                                          Jacquelineve.

In those days the Sheriffs [and their officers] were responsible to hold prisoners awaiting trial, superintend executions, serve writs, raise the "hue and cry" for absconded felons and debtors and organize elections.
