Dear Rob, In the pre 1813 Pemb. Marriages index Puncheston records are listed from 1675 to 1810 and Little Newcastle 1799 - 1812 but nothing appears under your surnames for either males or females. In the marriages index after 1813 I noted one record for Benjamin Howell and Ann Shadrach at Puncheston 16/08/1831...if this one interests you, then some kind person might look for the actual entry on Find My Past or Ancestry....I have neither.....and possibly tell you who acted as witnesses...or perhaps you could find them in the 1841 census. I did not bother to trawl through the Evans after 1813 as you may already have searched the marriage index...if not, can do! I only have one Puncheston Land Tax record....and I did not have any luck looking there either...but perhaps, if all else fails, the Pemb. RO could do a small search of those for you. They cover from 1786 to 1831 usually. I did note that a Mary "Question Mark" married Gilbert Thomas at Puncheston in 1688 (from the Bishop's Transcripts) ...I was beginning to think no records were available and the registers must contain blank pages. There were members of an early EVAN family who married in Puncheston if that's any help. It would certainly assist Dyflist members if you could set out any known details of people you are actually seeking.

I spent quite a few frustrating hours trying to read the parish records for the above areas. I found most of the film unreadable due to the quality. I have a number of questions 1) does anyone know where the originals are and if its possible to read them 2) have the parish records been transcribed? 3) Does anyone do look ups for this area for parish records? 4) if so I am looking for any of those below from 1790 - 1840 a) Howell(s) from Puncheston b) Evans in Little Newcastle any help would be most welcome Robert Vaughan ================================ Dyfed list REVISED resources http://home.clara.net/daibevan/DyfedML.html [Dec2012] ------------------------------- 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
