Hello

Hi Del 

You don't say which part of Wales you are interested in and coverage varies between the counties, although films of the OPRs/BTs are available to order at Family History Centres, The National Library and local records offices.

I notice that you have listed Meredith of Cefn Mawr in your interests. Cefn was part of the Ruabon parish in the pre-1937 period (and Rhosymedre later). The OPRs have been transcribed by the Clwyd FHS and are available to purchase:

Some of us have access to these indexes and records so it might be worth putting a request on the Denbighshire board, if that is where your interests lie.

I also see that I helped you with some of them a while ago:

Hi Gadget

Apologies for not replying

I don't know where in Wales they came from.  All I have in the census is 'Wales'.  As you know I have other relies from Wales and they are all North Wales so I am assuming the same.  The name is  Mary Wynne  father Robert, she was born about 1812.

If any one out there can help I would be very grateful
