Findmypast seems to have made some mistakes in allocating the recent additions of parish registers to the correct counties. In particular, some Llangollen registers are listed (without the parish specified) under Flintshire and Llangattock, Breconshire, has been listed under Merionethshire, as in the following entry which gives the county as Merionethshire in the list of search results: 4 May 1804 bap of Evan Jones son of Richd and Lea Place:Llangattock, St Cadoc Abode:Llangattog Parish County:Brecon Notes:Benjamin Price Record source:Blackwood Baptisms I still couldn't find the burials Clive was looking for though.
