Hi Tom Baptisms for St Elli Llanelly parish church are housed in the CRO Carmarthen, you could request a look-up. I have only indexed that parish to 1833 for the baptisms, I believe there is no gap in the actual parish registers between 1855-1862...Were they of the parish church do you know? There were quite a few non-conformist chapels in Llanelly at that time.....Have you found them in Llanelly 1861?
