I know that it would be a matter of going to look at Parish records for births and baptisms for Church of England babies before 1837, but how would babies born into Baptist families have their births recorded before this date within the Baptist religious community. How would the Baptist families register the civil birth registration requirement after 1837?
My Great Grandfather born about 1820, was living in Pontipool before he moved to London. His Church of England Bishops Transcript marriage certificate recorded in London 1843, states that he was of full age. All his subsequent census records confirm that he came from Pontypool, Monmouthshire and that he was born about 1820.
My Great, Great Grandfather was also born in Wales (either Abertillery or Abergavenny) and I am assuming that his birth date was at the at least 1801 at the earliest.
As they were both born before 1837 it means a trip to Wales so where would I start the research if they were both born into the Baptist religious community?
Many Thanks
