Peggy Although we specialise in the Llanelly area, we have baptisms for the parish church from the beginning of the records about 1684 ish to 1834.....burials to 1847 (ongoing project) and marriages to 1837....... There are the voters lists for Llanelly 1833, Llanelly directory 1897.......plus 1841 and 1851 Llanelly indexed too........ There is also a Llanelly in Breconshire - are you sure that it is the Llanelly/i in Carmarthenshire that you require...

Thanks, Pauline. That answers one of my questions. I thought it was in Breconshire, but I kept seeing it listed in Carmarthenshire. I didn't know there were two. The marriage certificate I have says Brecon on it, so I guess that's the one I need.
