Looking at the original image I wd read "Bracknock" rather than "Bracknick

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/bre.html

The link above explains "Brecknock" as a registration district and list the parishes covered. It also refers to "Brecknock" as a sub registration district within the registration district of "Brecknock" - but doesn't identify those parishes within the sub district.

http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit_census_page.jsp?u_id=10550634&c_id=

If you click on "Population Abstract" from the above link it gives some idea of the size of the registration district in 1851. It also has a map of the district of Brecknock within the County of Brecknockshire/Breconshire.

regards

Hello 'nainmaddie' and 'Hanes Tuelu',
Thanks very much for your guidance.
I contacted a Welsh research agency and have lodged a commission with them, so here's hoping!
I will continue to do what i can.
Regards
