CYD-DESTUN

Hanes bywgraffyddol/gweinyddol: Since 1837, Baptist marriages have been legalised. A Baptist chapel could be used for marriage, if it was licensed for the purpose, and a Civil Registrar was present to complete the legal formalities, together with the minister who performed the marriage ceremony. In 1898, an authorised person, who need not be a minister, was allowed to act in the place of a registar. The registers were held by the individual churches.
