Dear Achwr, This just gets better and better!! Thank you for all your shared knowledge on the chapel locations. Sadly, I feel a little frustrated because I would love to purchase the MIs, but I do not have a fiche reader! I am a member of the Dyfed FHS but oh how I wish the society would put more on disk! Or, even download!? We live in the 'sticks' of Northumberland and there are no fiche readers around here - nearest place would be Newcastle. So, I guess I will have to wait until I next go home! Thank you very much for the location information. I realise the OS references are on Genuki, but since taking my Geography O'level many years ago, I seem to be a bit rusty on my map reading! I sound a little hopeless but I am always very determined when it comes to family history research! Thank you once again for your very helpful e-mail. Kind regards and best wishes, Sarah.

Chris, Even if you had a fiche reader, you might still be frustrated. I ordered some fiche 18 months ago and am still waiting for one fiche from a set of four. It seems there are now so few fiche orders that it is not worth ordering more. (And I haven't been offered any alternative for the missing fiche.)
