However, they were, and still are, registered separately from other births and deaths. The registers are not open to public scrutiny, and only certain persons can obtain certificates for the stillborn child. There used to be details on the GRO web site, but I can't locate them now. However, if memory serves, it's only close blood relatives (parent, sibling, child) that can obtain such a certificate. >is no record of burial also,what would have happened to the body?

No David, the will says he was in East Stonehouse and it was witnessed by a Devonport attorney. His occupation was "engineer". He had been the Superintending Engineer on the construction of the Royal William Victualling Yard in Devonport not long before his death. He owned quite a lot of real estate in Bristol according to the will so I guess he might also have had a "holiday home" in Usk.

Hello, I'm tracking my ggg grandfather , Philip RICHARDS who wrote his will in Stonehouse, Devon in 1836 and died in January 1837 but I'm not sure where. I found a death notice of a Philip Richards in 1837 in a Bristol paper saying he died in Usk aged 83. Would it be realistic for someone old and sick to have moved to Usk from Stonehouse in those days? Is there anyone over there who could look up the Usk burial records for me or provide any more information? Thanks for any help. Kind regards, Jenny in Queensland Australia. Sent from my iPhone

Jenny hi, just to double check, it wasn't possibly Stonehouse in Gloucestershire was it, across the Severn Estuary from Usk? Best wishes David

Hello, I have Edmund Morgan from Clwyd yr Elygan in 1851 visiting folks in Bedwas. I have tried a general search for Clwyd yr Elygan but had no luck locating it. Does anyone have any idea where it might be? Thanks Cheerio, Irene

Dear All I have a few documents showing family addresses in Tredegar and I'm guessing that most of them might now have gone as I can't find them on good, old Google Maps. I'm missing Woodview Place and a couple shown as "Back of Queen Street". If anybody can give me some idea on where these were then I'd be very grateful. Many thanks Andrew

Hello could sks please locate William Williams, with son John and fam in 1841/ 1851/ 1861 ?   In the Bedwas area.   cheerio Irene

Hello, I recently found out that my Great Grandmother and her sisters went to the Newport Board School for a few years. This would have been around 1887-1901. Can anyone tell me if this school has any records in it's archives, whether I can find out any more about them from school records if they exist? I tried googling but didn't come up with anything unfortunately. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you, Tamara (Australia)

Hello, Just a wild shot, but does anyone have any experience with ancestors who were married or buried in the Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Chapel. Leah Howell(s) married to William Thomas at the Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Chapel, Cardiff, Wales about 1857. We think perhaps her parents Reynold and Leah were buried there in 1845 and 1848. Thank you for any help in pointing me in the right direction for this information, Karen

Hello Monmouth Researchers, We have been researching our Welsh family in Monmouth. Reynold and Leah John Howell/s in Rumney-married at St. Augustine's 1828. Have found children Joan/Johannah born 1829, Leah born 1836. Can't find what happened to Sarah Howell born 1834, William Howell born 1839, David Howell born 1841, and Mary Howell born 1844 all christened at St. Augustine's. These children all "disappear" after parents died and 1851 census. Anyone out there know about these Howell children? Also if you happen to have access to Llandaff Cathedral burial records-- might there be a Reynold or Leah Howell buried there? Would be happy to share and compare about this family, Karen

One of my family history contacts has permitted me to forward to several mailing lists the result of a recent complaint made to Familysearch. See the details below. It occurs to me that we may be able to 'crowdsource' corrections if members of the relevant lists deliberately look for entries near the start and finish of the registers affected and collated details are sent to FamilySearch and FindmyPast. If someone has database experience and would like to co-ordinate such a response, or if someone has access to the original registers or a quality index to them (such as produced by Gwent FHS, Glamorgan FHS, FreeReg or the Mongenes database) of one or more of the parishes and would like to identify Familysearch citations for entries on the first and last pages of the relevant registers, please contact me off-list for a reference that can be used. I am copying this to the Rootsweb Glamorgan list as well as the Rootsweb Monmouthshire and the Yahoo Mongenes list as Glamorgan FHS have indexed at least one of the parishes involved. Also I rather hope we can do something similar with some West Glamorgan parishes that have been wrongly labelled on FamilySearch and FindmyPast. Jeff Quote - reply from Familysearch to some specific queries- Thank you for contacting Familysearch with the details of the problems with the records from Monmouthshire, Wales We were able to look through the films and the following is a summary of the errors we have found. 1. Film 2419405, DGS 4393257. The film has records from Rockfield, Rumney, St Brides Wentlloog, St. Maughans and St Mellons in Monmouthsire. The indexes found in the collection Wales, Monmouthshire, Parish Registers, 1538-1912 show the location as Rockfield except indexes taken from Images 755-790 - Burials 1813-1904. These are are correctly shown as St Mellons. 2. Film 2415010, DGS 4393200. The film has records for LLangatock-Iuxta-Caerleon, Rumney, Llanover, Tregare in Monmouthshire, but all indexes show the location as LLangatock Juxta Caerleon. These indexes are also found at Wales, Monmouthshire, Parish Registers, 1538-1912. The following is a link to those records for your convenience: https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2075051 The records from Find My Past have the same mis-information. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to determine which is the correct indexed location without looking at the film. The film can be ordered on loan to a FamilySearch center near you. Just click on the film number in the catalog and you will be directed to a film ordering page. The records can also be viewed on Find My Past at a local FamilySearch Center We have notified our technical staff of the errors and hopefully they will be able to make the corrections in the not-too-distant future. However, due to large demands on limited resources, this may take some time. We are also adding a note in the Wiki Known Issues document to alert other researchers of the problem. If you are unfamiliar with the Wiki page, it is found by following the "Learn More" link on the Collection main page. We encourage researchers to always follow the Learn More link in each collection of records to read details particular to that set of records, any Known Issues, related websites for searching and instructions on how to cite the records for your sources. We wish you success in your family research. Don't hesitate to contact us again if we can be of further assistance of if we have not correctly diagnosed the problem.
