How can I find ordination papers?
Ateb
The ordination papers that are held in the National Library can be found in the Schedules for the Dioceses of Bangor, St. Asaph, St. David’s and Llandaf. You can search our Main Catalogue https://discover.library.wales/primo-explore/search?vid=44WHELF_NLW_NUI&lang=en_US using the keyword 'Ordination Papers'. The relevant items will be under "Church in Wales".
It is also possible to check which ordinations took place in a certain year by referring to the "Crockford's Clerical Directory". The National Library of Wales does hold the volumes, and you may follow this link to search the Full Catalogue:
The Crockford's Clerical Directory is also available online on the www.ancestry.co.uk. There you will learn more about the Directory and also search the Directory itself. However there is a fee to view the relevant sources.
