Hi Lee

Looking at your photos of Llanfair Talhaiarn churchyard was going down memory lane - I was born there - and seeing the inscriptions brought to mind many faces from my childhood.

Many thanks,

Fairlane

Hi Lee

That is a great site you have - fantastic work  :)

For those of us with interests in the South East of the County, will you be doing that side as well?

Regards

I live in the very north west of Clwyd and nearly all my interests are in the west of the old county. However, I work in Chester, so weather/light permitting I will be doing as much as I can on my journey to and from work...and what I can at lunchtime.
Takes me about an hour to photograph 500 headstones :)

If anyone has good quality photos of as my headstones as possible at a particular graveyard in Clwyd I'll be happy to add them!

I've got a few but only family ones - Gyffylliog, Chirk and some others, I'll check them and let you know. Many have been badly damaged.

I do have photos of many of the Churches, if you're interested.

This is an excellent idea,and I have looked at various of the gravestones,
I have been trying to find someone who may have died in the llanrwst workhouse-would thay have been buried in St Grwst?,but would they have had headstones?
It was a Margaret Evans.
can we order a mor detailed photo from you,if we find any?
Thanks

They would probably have been buried in St Marys, thats if they even had a headstone. Do you know the approximate year they died?

if you find any then let me know I will email you a hires version....
