Title: Death in steelworks circa 1972
Post by: halfasheep on Thursday 15 December 05 10:16 GMT (UK)
My 3rd cousin Malcolm Buckley died in an accident in Port Talbot steelworks circa 1972.

I was told he was apparently buried in Taibach Cemetary, but have had no luckon serach engines, newspaper archives, or even locating his death cert!

Tried search engines too - anyone have any ideas?

Did you find what you were looking for?

I signed up when I came across this post on google, but only just seen how old the post is.

Malcolm was my grand father, but unfortunately I never got to meet him, he died before I was born. His ashes are buried under the branches of the big tree in Margam Crematorium just as you approach the buildings.

Hope this help.

Hi Absolution, sorry but I didn't get notification of your reply! Malcolm's brother is still very close to me, but he seems to have lost contact with Malcolm's wife over the years - I'd love to get in contact at some point. I have got a lot of info on the Buckley/White family, and you have a lot of cousins in Maesteg!
