Register Office Bedwellty
« on: Wednesday 14 June 17 15:12 BST (UK) »
Hello
I have a copy of a marriage certificate dated March 1891, with the marriage solemnized at Register Office in the district of Bedwellty.  Can someone please tell me where this office was situated. 

Thanks in advance
anything and everything to do with the village of Brithdir, near New Tredegar in Gwent.

Most probably the Town Hall or Council Offices

The Registrar is listed here, possibly find his 1891 equivalent in the census or 1891 edition of Kellys

Thanks for this answer. I was also trying to find out where my great grandmother got married in 1896 (listed as Bedwellty Registry Office on her marriage certificate).

She lived at Sirhowy before she got married and her husband lived at Church Street, Tredegar).

Bedwellty district covered quite a large area but there was only one register office and that was the one in Tredegar so they would have been married there.
