The Quakers made a centralised, indexed digest of all their baptisms, marriages and burials before they surrendered their registers in 1837 - and I think this applied to Wales. That is in Class RG 6 at the TNA - and is online, I think with Origins. You seem to need subscriptions to three organisations these days to be sure you get all databases. And that is before you start talking newspapers or Deaths Online. All of these resources are fairly vital in a DNA project if you are trying to trace people forwards.

If Rebecca was from a Quaker family, I don't think you'll find a baptismal record as they don't baptize. I don't know how they recorded births. Maybe someone on the mail list is more knowledgeable. If from a non-Quaker family and if her baptism is recorded in parish records, I would suggest you keep checking FamilySearch as I think they are currently transcribing and indexing other baptismal records for Wales. There is at least one other person researching Rebecca Smith Puddicombe on Ancestry.com: Arbre généalogique de VAN EYCK Have you contacted them?

I checked out the non-Conformist registered birth and it was a Quaker record covering Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Wales, but referred to a Rebecca Smith birth in Stourbridge.
