Yvonne, Have you considered that the marriage record might not have survived? It's a painful thought, I know. Looking at the Dyfed FHS fiche of pre-1813 marriages for Cemais Hundred (which includes Dinas parish), I see that it only includes marriages 1676-1791 and 1805-1811. This strongly suggests that there is a gap in the record at the NLW just where you are looking for your 1794 marriage. Unfortunately, gaps of this size are not mentioned in the book Parish Registers of Wales. And the pre-1799 BTs for the diocese have also been lost, with few exceptions.

How usual was it for inter marriages between Pembrokeshire men and Irish women around late eighteenth century? I have reason to believe there is an Irish connection in my tree(family story) I am looking for marriage of a John Oliver and Mary, John being of Dinas. Cannot find this in Pembrokeshire. Would there be a great difficulty in such an Irish/Welsh marriage because of religion etc? or would it not have mattered? The marriage would have taken place around 1794 Thank you very much Yvonne Evans ================================ Dyfed list http://home.clara.net/daibevan/DyfedML.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DYFED-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
