St Mellon’s parish records
« on: Thursday 13 December 18 09:50 GMT (UK) »
Where would be the best place to search for parish records (1720-1830) of the Richards family in St Mellon’s, Rumney, Marshfield and Coedkernew. They don’t seem to have much on Find my past. I thought welsh registers were on FindMyPast.

transcribed baptisms 1725 - 1869 are on FreeReg. Plenty of entries for Richard/Richards. I've checked the baptism for Lydia Richard bp 3 Dec 1732 and it is on FindMyPast only it has been indexed as Rockfield. This is not an uncommon problem with this dataset but the transcribing & indexing wasn't done by FindMyPast & they seem to think there isn't a problem. There are other threads on the these boards about them.
Coedkernew marriages are on FreeReg 1725-1813 and there are other records from c. 1800 on FindMyPast.
Rumney baptisms 1733 - 1812 are on FreeReg, on FindMyPast but indexed as Rockfield, top of register page says Rumney.
Marshfield records are on FreeReg & on FindMyPast.
