Marriage look-up Cregina

[mrsd]

Hello,

Can someone please have a look at the parish registers please for the marriage that took place on December 21st 1831 between Jonas Havard and Sarah Jones. Jonas was born in 1798, Tylecrwm(n) and Sarah about 1797 in Allensmore. The marriage took place in Cregina, but I understand that banns were also called in Glascwm.

I'm particularly trying to find any references to their families, but anything that would be felt to be of interest would be appreciated.

not from the parish records, but from the Radnorshire marriage records on Ancestry, the groom was of the parish of Glascwm, so that explains why the banns were read there as well.

You don't get huge detail on marriages of this time. I've got a couple from the 1820s and early 1830s in front of me. You get where & when, names & parishes of the bride & groom, whether by banns or by licence, signature of who married them, signatures or marks of the couple, signature or marks of at least 2 witnesses. The cleric was meant to record the marital status of the couple, but that doesn't always happen - one in front of me! I've got one with 4 witnesses - 2 each for the bride and groom, 2 sisters of the bride, 2 brothers of the groom, but you also get ones with a parish witness, no relation whatsover.

   forgot to say the rest. If no-one can help, as you have the date, you can get a copy of the entry from the record office -

Thanks very much Osprey, and for sharing your experiences with me. I'll bookmark this link anyway for the future.

Hi Osprey,

As a follow-up, I have just received a copy of this marriage record from the Powys Archives copying service. As you said, not alot of information, but at least it is a record.

On a more general note, I would like to recommend this service. The turnaround was very quick and I received my copy quicker than a certificate ordered from the gro at the same time; I thought their service had got alot better. (Mind you, a new series of Who Do You think You Are has just started...)
