There would be no nonconformist church records of marriage for 1851-1855, as nonconformist chapels were not allowed to hold their own registers until the mid 1870s (1873 - I think). All chapel weddings between 1837 and 1873ish were recorded as civil marriages. Chapel, church or RO, a marriage between 1851 and 1855 should have been recorded with the Registrar of BMD for the locality. You can contact the registrar for the Llanrhychwyn / Ysbyty area by e-mailing: licensing.unit@conwy.gov.uk Hope this helps!

Can someone please advise where the parish records are held for Ysbyty Ifan for this period, for non-conformist churches? Thank you, Glenys Lawrence -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
