Find Ancestors

Hi Sian, No problem-will post any results on Wednesday night on this board. If you click on my name on the board e mail me the Morris names and I will see what I can turn up. Can I be really cheeky-where did you get your Glyntaff CD from?I have two Evans to trace there and can narrow it down to 10 years and a CD may be easier than spending hours trawling through the registers.After all, Evans is such a common name here in Wales that if I am trawling through half a million names I would rather do it in the comfort of my own home than in a crematorium!!!I find Glyntaff such a horrible place with no atmosphere at all that I really hate going there- yet I have spent hours searching 2 Merthyr Tydfil cemeteries,Trealaw and Treorchy! No accounting for it is there?I must be a bit strange in the head!!!!! Will post any results for you. Sinead:))

Hi Sinead Thanks so much. I have the Glyntaff Cd and they are not there and i've traipsed round there a fair few times so I know what it like!! I've not thought about Treorchy and they are not in Cymmer Cemetery as far a I now.Don't live in Glam now (Derby) The main surname I am looking for is Randall (some variations on spelling) Thomas Randall died between 1901-1910 though I have just sent for a certificate for a possibility of his death in 1904.Fingers crossed! His wife was Mary died after 1901 though she could have remarried. (possibly a Dick David) Also Roise Tabitha Evans (nee Randall), married 1910 just a thought she might be there, don't know when died (husband Joan!) I have some other Morris names but don't know death dates so don't want to bombard you!!! I would be interesed in mainly Randalls in the cemetery. Many thanks if you can help Sian

Hi Sian, I go to Trealaw Cemetery weekly as my grandparents and some of the rest of my family is there. I don,t have any CD - I usually go and see the sexton who will search the records for me and give me a plot number -whence the fun really starts as the system is so higgledy piggeldy I usually spend most of the morning traipsing around 1 plot!!! But at least it is a beautiful cemetery so as long as it is not raining too hard it is usually not too bad!! I will be going on Wednesday morning so if you give me as much info as you can I will see if I can find anything and will report back with plot numbers and any info. As a point the other relevant cemeteries are Treorchy and Glyntaff which also did cremations as did Bridgend and Thornhill.It all really depends on the years you are looking for. Let me know before Wednesday. Sinead:)))

Someone here had been visiting Trealaw Cemetery in the Rhondda and I have been trying to ascertain whether they (or anyone else) had the cemetery index Cd as I am told that alot of Porth people are bureid here and I am trying to find burials of my Porth family who I can't find. Regards Sian
