Title: Macpeleh Cemetary, Penygroes
Post by: big g on Monday 03 November 08 16:06 GMT (UK)

I was wondering if there was anyone who reads/posts on this board, living in  Penygroes or very close by, who would be willing to copy details from two headstone, one of which would need a translation?  I do know the section where they are.

I had hoped to stay in Caernarvonshire and visit Penygroes this autumn, but sadly didn't make it.


I would be most grateful - diolch.

Heather,

Thanks for the link to Macpelah, Deiniolen;  will be very useful for a branch of my family tree.  If only Penygroes Macpelah was online!!

Hi Glenys

Sorry - hadn't noticed the Penygroes part was not on.  It's a bit of an odd site so have a good root round just in case ;D

Hi I live nearby.

If you pass on what you need I will have a look for you and take a couple of photographs if that would be of any help

Stephen,
Many, many thanks for your kind offer!

The two graves are next to each other  in the old section.  If you go through the gate nearest to Penygroes, then turn right  to Block A, then turn left, three quarters of the way down.  Graves 1146 and 1147. These two graves are enclosed in the same  edged section.

1146 is a flat stone, written in Welsh, Owen Jones died 1885 and Jane Jones died 1908 of Tynant Uchaf, Nantlle.
(my gt.grandparents)

1147, upright, written in English,  Laura Jones, etc.et( their daughter, my gt.aunt, sister of my Taid)

A translation of the memorial on the first grave would also be appreciated.

Diolch

Glenys

Hi I received your message, As I am a new member it seems I cannot send or reply to personal messages.

If you pm me your email address I can email you the photographs. Probably next week as it is dark in the evenings now

Would just like to say a public 'thank you' Stephen for taking  and sending me the pics of the graves I detailed in an earlier posting.

Many, many thanks.

Diolch,
