Hi Neil,
I've noticed this before, although FamilySearch says you can click through to view the image on FindmyPast, it gives an error message (despite having an FindMyPast account).

I doubt whether Llanbeblig marriages have ever been on FindMyPast as Llanbeblig is not one of the options when filtering Caernarvonshire Marriages and Banns by Place.

Llanbeblig used to be part of the FindMyPast parish register collection, but they were removed last year at the request of the parish.

This seems to be a growing problem at FindMyPast. I was researching a branch of my Welsh Family and suddenly the records all disappeared from the search index and were no longer indexed or viewable. Luckily I had downloaded some of the images a week ago.

FindMy Past reported that multiple Welsh Parishes have opted out of their digitisation programme and hence the index and records need to be removed.

Attempting to follow a link from FamilySearch or other source simple gets you now to a FindMyPast error page.

I have suggested FindMyPast email subscribers to let them know which indexes and records are about to be deleted so that users can prioritise their research.

Parish Records were a major selling point for FindMyPast and their removal greatly diminishes the site's value. Very sad series of events.

Here are those parishes, so far, that have declined to be listed/further listed on FindMyPast and have now been removed as of 5th April 2019.

This is the response when I contacted Find My Past last year.  I was researching a birth in Llanbeblig, which showed up in a search on Familysearch.  I was in Salt Lake City, and tried to access the record there.  I was unable to and contacted them.

"Thank you for your reply.

Having checked the record in question, it appears that it has been removed from the site but the Family Search website has not yet been updated to reflect this.

A number of parishes decided they did not want to participate in the digitisation project and therefore their records do no longer form part of the Wales Collection. The parish of Llanbeblig was once which is no longer available. 

If you do have any questions please let us know."

Soon after I received this, the record I was able to find at familysearch was removed.
