Thread: Burial of John Williams

I'm trying to find the burial of my great-uncle, John Williams. He, and my great-aunt are somewhere in the cemetery of Yr Hen Gapel (The Old Chapel) in Llanbrynmair, Montgomeryshire. I have the MIs, but they are not listed. My cousin knows that they are there, but the grave is unmarked.

Hi William

Hi Raven,



This is one of those VERY awkward ones ! I know that they are somewhere in the chapel yard or the cemetery which is a bit further away; my cousin has told me that, and I know exactly where his son and wife are buried. They have dates 1906 to 1986. I know that John was born in 1863, and lived all his life in and around Llanbrynmair and Talerddig - he was a railway signalman in the latter. What I think I'm asking for, really, is the best way to find the actual grave ! There are many in the yard and in the cemetery which are unmarked - would it be an idea to approach the minister at the chapel, to see if he knows which grave it is ?

Hi William,



Silver Fox, had a very similar story but his was in Scotland :- http://www.ancestryaid.co.uk/boards/...newbattle.html



Although he eventually found out where his ancestors were buried he had trouble locating them. I am sure he got help. It may have been a groundsman or minister. You could try sending him a pm.
