Before-1813 burial records give the deceased name and burial date and sometimes the age, place of residence, cause of death, or occupation. The husband’s or father’s name is sometimes given. Post-1813 records have the name, age, residence, burial date, and minister’s signature. Burial registers may mention infant children who were not christened, including stillbirths. Christening records never record stillbirths. | Before-1813 burial records give the deceased name and burial date and sometimes the age, place of residence, cause of death, or occupation.

When the patronymic naming system was in use, a married woman in Wales continued to be known by her maiden name and will normally be buried under that name.<ref>Rowlands, John and Sheila Rowlands. “Women retaining their maiden names.” In ''The Surnames of Wales''.

Each year, beginning in 1598, a copy of the parish register was made and sent to the bishop of the diocese. These copies are called bishop’s transcripts. Bishop’s transcripts were meant to be exact, but entries were sometimes abbreviated and may contain additional or variant information from that found in the parish registers. If the original register has been lost, the transcript may be invaluable as the only source of information. In Wales these transcripts survive from about 1662. Most begin in the eighteenth century and have many years missing. Search both bishop’s transcripts and parish registers, when available, because of the differences that may exist between them. | Each year, beginning in 1598, a copy of the parish register was made and sent to the bishop of the diocese.

From early times, denominational magazines were published. These contain invaluable references to members, including often lengthy notices of baptisms, marriages, and obituaries. See [[Wales Periodicals]] for more information on how to locate journals in the FamilySearch Catalog. <br> | From early times, denominational magazines were published.
