Son, William John "Bill" Williams - http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=10...

Thanks so much!

RESPONSE from Cathay's Cemetery 23 Apr 2013:

Thank you for your e mail. I have checked the burial registers for you and found the following information:

CATHAYS CEMETERY Section: S Grave No: 2884

*Emily Alice Williams, aged 6 months old and the child of William Henry & Ada Williams, was interred on 18 Apr 1901.
*Ada Williams, aged 28 years old and the wife of William Henry Williams, was interred on 3 Sep 1904.
*William Henry Williams, aged 36 years old, was interred on 24 Aug 1910.

So the information you have was correct and they are all buried in the same grave.

I have attached maps of the grave which will help the person taking the pictures. The records do not state whether there is a stone on this grave. If they have difficulty finding it, please tell them they can meet the Cemetery Manager by appointment. Please telephone 02920 544820 a few days before they are due to visit and he can see check his burial bookings and make a suitable date and time.

Re: THOMAS Monument at Holy Trinity Church, Christchurch, Newport, Gwent

Tina3815 — 2013-03-13 15:49:36Z

Hi Denise,
I'm not surprised that you were unable to find the monument as it has fallen into disrepair and looks nothing like the picture. I have heard from another contact who found it and sent me photos. Another family member and I are going to see if we can get enough interest from other descendants to have it restored. Thank you for looking, though.

Re: THOMAS Monument at Holy Trinity Church, Christchurch, Newport, Gwent

DeniseKing55 — 2013-03-12 17:28:02Z

Hello,
I have recently been to Holy Trinity Church Cemetary at Christchurch to look for the Thomas monument for you, but unfortunatelly it is no longer there.

Sorry to be so long in replying but I forgot! I have checked the graves in Llanfair Caereinion and although there are a few that are beyond recognition, ther was no trace of William Owen.

Re: Llanfair (St. Mary) churchyard - William OWEN Death and burial

About 1 1/2 hours away but I'll have a look at the graves anyway

THOMAS Monument at Holy Trinity Church, Christchurch, Newport, Gwent

Tina3815 — 2012-10-10 18:08:45Z

I have attached a very good pen and ink drawing of a THOMAS family monument in Holy Trinity Churchyard, Christchurch, Newport, Gwent. Seeking someone who would be kind enough to check if it still exists and photograph it for me.

Re: John & Eleanor JONES buried at St Peter's, Lampeter

richardpj1 — 2012-09-08 19:37:13Z

Update: Rev. Chris at St Peter's discovered an index of monumental inscriptions and gravestones and found that John and Eleanor were indeed buried together with their daughter Margaret and son David. He took photos too.
John died 28/1/1879; Eleanor died 11/12/1878, David died 17/4/1857 and Margaret died 7/2/1834.
If anyone else is researching our family, please get in touch.
Thanks,
Richard

John & Eleanor JONES buried at St Peter's, Lampeter

richardpj1 — 2012-08-21 15:11:18Z

My great great grandfather John Jones and his son William were shoemakers in Lampeter, employing as many as 30 men around 1850 to 1880. William ran the Cambria Shoe Factory for a while.
We think John married Eleanor (Elinor) and they might be buried at St Peter's in Lampeter. It seems there are records that fit the couple, but I don't know if they were buried together or side by side.
John Jones, male, husband, died 1879 aged 71
Eleanor Jones, female, wife, died 1978 aged 72
Could somebody take a look please. If successful, a photograph or two would be great.
Thank you so much.

Danygraig Cemetery

reddragon52 — 2011-08-26 14:50:42Z

Anyone out there who could take a photo for me of my Great grandfathers grave? Captain Henry Rees is buried in Danygraig. He was born in 1856 and died in 1899. He was married to Mary Anne Davis. I have been told that only sea captains and their families were buried in this cemetery, but not sure if this is true. It would be greatly appreciated as I live in South Australia!
(There children were Thomas Alfred Rees, Polly, Jack, Jim, Joseph and Minnie.) Thanks so much! Rosemarie

Names of cemetaries in this area. Looking for Parry (Perry) Ancestors, Thomas, Ellen and others. I don't have date of birth for Thomas but children born in this parish, 1810-1814 so estimate that Thomas perhaps born about 1780-90.

Danygraig Cemetery

puppetaxe — 2011-04-23 15:19:22Z

Anyone near Danygraig Cemetery, Swansea Glamorgan who could check on a burial listing for me?
My grandparents-Frank ARNOLD (DoD-1958), and Mary ARNOLD (DoD-1949) are buried together. Also in the grave is a 2 y.o. female child, maybe Clara W. (DoD-1913). I don't believe she is even listed on the headstone.
I would greatly appreciate finding out as much about the child as I can. All/any details. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cathays Cemetery, Cardiff - will help fnd your headstone

tasp1971 — 2011-02-11 14:41:45Z

I'm going to try and find a headstone for someone. Its got me thinking. I live a couple of miles away so if anyone wants me to try and find one for them please let me know.

I would like the grave number which can be obtained by ringing 029 2062 3294 or emailing:thornhillreception@cardiff.gov.uk
I can then pop over. I don't drive but its easy enough to get to during weekends. Its shut at 5pm in winter so can't get there in the week. I have family buried here so I am popping to put flowers and family who live locally so can visit them at the same time.

Re: Cathays Cemetery will help fnd your headstone

tasp1971 — 2011-02-10 22:12:52Z

I should say I will take photos and write the details of inscriptions and email both to you. I am busy at times so it may take a few weeks at times, but I am going this Saturday 12 Feb 2011

Hi i am hoping someone can do a lookup for me for Arthur Kemp born 1862-1870 died 1905 Wattstown, i believe he may be buried in Trealaw cemetery, any help with this would be great, having big trouble tracking this man down.
Thanks Mel

Re: Morriston Cemetery, Swansea,

kknight172 — 2010-04-14 00:07:08Z

It is on Clasemont Road in Morriston about 3 miles out of the city centre of Swansea but very close to the M4 motorway. It is quite large and has been open since the 1915 for burials and cremations. You will need to have some idea of the grave number unless you have a lot of time to spend. There are thousands of headstones and some are badly worn.You can walk around anytime but they limit vehicular access hours.

Re: adamsdown cemetary

oneilelectronics — 2010-03-14 22:30:47Z

I can conform that there was a cemetary in Adamsdown.The Marquis of Bute gave the land to be used as a cemetary in 1848. It became a park in 1948 but the headstones were preserved and now line the inner walls of the park. In recent times it has been revamped as a games area. I am also researching Driscolls in Swansea and Cardiff.

DLTom901 — 2010-03-09 22:00:39Z

Hello,
I wonder if you can help me?
I have found an ancestors grave in Caersalem baptist chapel, Cilgwyn, Nevern. I have been unable to find other family members from this era in the same place. Her name was Anne Hugh of Fachongle Ganol Nevern, she died in 1848, I know Caersalem was erected in 1841. So my question is where were my ancestors buried pre 1841?
Can you help?
