Hi I was wondering if anyone does look up on parish record. 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

Robert - Have you had a look at the Hugh Wallis IGI? There are some transcribed parish records for Little Newcastle and Puncheston within your time period with the surnames Evans and Howell. You didn't mention given names, so I can't be of any more help.

Hello All Yesterday's Daily Telegraph contained the obituary of Roscoe Howells. Welsh historian and author - why it should have taken so long since his death is strange, but perhaps he wasn't "famous" enough. However, I'm grateful that they did publish it - put "Roscoe Howells obituary" into your search engine and you'll find it. He lived in Amroth and I was fortunate, about fifteen years ago, to meet him in Colby Woodland Garden nearby. He must have been in his late seventies then, but appeared fit as a fiddle. We had a long chat, as I possessed several of his books on Pembrokeshire. He wrote both novels ("Heronsmill" was one) and factual books. I did have a copy of "From Amroth to Utah" (which he wrote in 2001), but gave it away to a friend who had forebears from that area. Gerry Lewis

Hi Rob and List, I have found births for Little Newcastle in 1795 which I obtained from Haverfordwest Record Office Pembrokeshire.   Haverfordwest R.O do look ups but I am uncertain whether there is a charge and how much.  I have been unable to trace Little Newcastle records for around 30 years prior to 1790's and I believe they no longer exist.
