Assuming a person was born at the place he appears in the 1841 Census,
namely, the Parish of Llanarth, and District of Abergavenny, what
place/office would his birth records be kept? I'm looking for
information for a Philip James that appears in the 1841 Census in that
location.
===================

Dear Jim,

If your Philip James was born prior to July 1837, there will be no records
of his birth. The civil registration of births did not commence until July
1837. You'd have to rely on a record of his baptism ceremony in a church or
chapel.

If his birth *was* registered, the entry will be in the registers held by
Abergavenny Register Office:Contact:
Superintendent Registrar (Julie A. Hole)
Register Office
Coed-Glas
Firs Road
Abergavenny NP7 5LE
Tel: 01873 735435

Kind regards,

John
