    1. [GLA] Genuki - 1851 Religious Census

    3. I've extracted a lot of entries from this Religious Census by now, all over Wales, but this one in AGY is the first I've seen where the clergyman has openly stated his objection to counting the congregation on the Sabbath. There have been other instances where attendance figures have been omitted from the returns - but without comment. I must confess to not knowing what this objection might have been based on given that the vast majority of churches have indeed provided the numbers. * Llanfair-mathafarn-eithaf Parish Church (Diocese of Bangor) Attendance - (average) morning 90, afternoon 150 "I give the general estimated average rather than be a party to have the congregation counted on the Sabbath" W Williams, Rector Gareth Genuki Wales http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/ Help Page http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html Cwmgors/Waun http://www.tytwp.plus.com/Waun/Waun.html
