Anglesey Towns & Parishes |
"The Island of MONA or ANGLESEY is in circumference 60 Miles, contains about 200,000 Acres, 74 Parishes & 1840 Houses, has 2 Market Towns, one of which (viz.) Beaumaris sends a Member to Parliament. This Island was anciently called Insula Opaca, from the great quantity of Wood with which it was over grown, but now it is very bare of trees especially in ye Northern & Western parts. The Principal Comodities of this Island are Corn, Cattle, Fish & Fowl, which it produces in such abundance that the Welsh call it Mam Cymru, i.e. the Mother or Nurse of Wales. The Air at certain times by reason of the Mists and Foggs that proceed from ye Irish Sea is Aguish. The Soil is Rocky and Mountainous, it affords plenty of Grind Stones, Milstones, &c." [Emanuel Bowen, Britannia Depicta, 1720]

IGI Batch Numbers-British Isles
It is not always easy to locate your ancestors on the IGI using the search mechanisms provided at the above LDS site. Manually typing the batch numbers into the IGI search screen can be tedious. Hugh Wallis has made an exhaustive search of the likely ranges of batch numbers and created a database of those numbers and the source records that they apply to. A very powerful feature included is a hotlink from each batch number to the actual search engine provided at the Family Search site, including the ability to enter the surname you are looking for. This makes it very easy to search all the batches for a particular geographic location using just the last name you are searching for - something that is not possible directly from the LDS site without doing a lot of typing.

North Wales BMD Births, Marriages and Deaths on the internet. Clwyd and Gwynedd Family History Societies, and Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society are collaborating with the local Registration Services to make the indexes to these records freely searchable via the Internet. Although the indexes are not yet complete for all years and districts, it is hoped that the database will eventually cover all North Wales births, marriages and deaths for the years 1837 to 1950.
The UK BMD web site offers links to over 400 web sites that provide on-line information for UK births, marriages and deaths and censuses.
Marriages on Anglesey from 1837 to 1937 with later church marriages complete
up to the Welsh language act of April 1971. Dave Wilson has produced indexes
of these marriages on cd.
The images for these are not available for
public viewing and only an index of Brides and Grooms can be produced.
There is an index by groom and another by the bride, the name of each is given
and so it easy to see which bride married which groom, it also includes date
and year of marriage and the church where the marriage took place. In the case
of 'civil ' marriages the registration book in which it is recorded is
listed; the marriage may have taken place in a registry office or a chapel.
