does anyone know if you can get deaths/or monument inscriptions of cathays cemetery on disc. :)
-
Not sure about whether they're on disc...but you could try this Link:

Failing that...you could try the Glamorgan Family History Society. (I will see if I've got that Link for you).
Cheers, Romilly.

They do have some Registers at the main Library in Cardiff and they are usually very helpful.

I was at Cathays cemetry last weekend and if you phone Thornhill cremetorium on 02920 623294, they have all the information of Cathays and are very helpful. They should be able to get any particular inscriptions you want.

I too have had contact the Cemetery Bereavement Manager at Catheys when looking for my grandmothers grave....they are really helpful.
I did have her death certificate details giving her address which appeared to be important for them to know before they gave me the plot number. I found out that my grandfather was buried in the same plot many years later but his death certificate gave the address where he was found dead due to an accident
Data protection prohibited her from giving me the address he had been living at in 1925 ???... :-\ , she sounded really sorry because she knew I needed it. Good old Cardiff Library found the newspaper cutting for me and all the world to see, with the address... data protection is so strange ::)

Selina, did you get anywhere with this search? I know it was a while ago. I live in Cardiff and I'd have a look for you. Its a huge cemetery so I'd need to know the number of the plot which can be obtained from the bereavement services. I can take a photo of the stone and email it.

Ambers, got me thinking.
There are directories in Cardiff main Library in central Cardiff dating back many years. I know they list by street but I can't remember if they list by name too? Its up on the 5th floor, all sorts of local info there.
Does your ancestor have a unusual name? I could have a scan when I'm in there next for the 1925 edition if they have one. Though if its Davies or something I haven't much chance of spotting the right one.
I found it interesting to read who lived in the house I grew up in before my family did.
