To enable us to trace the copy certificates you require, we would appreciate if you could supply as much of the following information as possible:-

Copy Birth Certificates

1. Full Name (Maiden Surname)
2. Full Date or Year
3. Place of Birth
4. Parent's Names

Copy Death Certificates

1. Full Name
2. Date and Place of Death

Copy Marriage Certificates

1. Full Names of Both parties and Maiden Surname of Female
2. Date of Marriage
3. Place of Marriage e.g. Parish of Church/Chapel

 
A five-year search is carried out for each request, which includes the year stated and also two-years either side. Postal applications take less than three working days, whilst callers are dealt with as soon as possible.

Any records prior to 1837, please contact Carmarthenshire Archives Service.

I would also advise you that our indexes are established for the purposes of registration duties, and are not tied to pedigrees or families. We will not know for example, whether a person had any other children, or whether they had a brother or sister etc.

The fact that a person lived in a particular area or that he/she was buried in a certain place does not mean that they were born there or that they died there.
