Has anyone got a record of Memorial inscriptions for St Padarns Llanbadarn y garreg, in Radnorshire. Im looking for Greenways buried there

I'm sorry, I haven't got any MI records but I got these off the internet.
John Greenway buried 4 Jan 1838 - aged 88 - Llanbadarn Y Garreg - St. Padarn.
Charlotte Greenway 6 Sep 1835 - age 4- Newchurch St.Mary (about 8 miles away NE)
Edward Greenway 12 Jul 1840 -age 75 - Bryngwyn St.Michael (about 6 miles away NE)
John Greenway 26 Apr 1813 - 6 weeks - Llowes St. Meilig (SE)

Up until the 1970s, there were only two Greenways buried at St. Padarn's, Llanbadarn-y-Garreg as the Greenways were CofE Bryngwyn farmers, and St. Padarn's was non-conformist. Llanbadarn-y-Garreg was ("Hounds of") Baskerville land pledged to marry into the Powells. John Griffiths received "The Box" L-y-G, in settlement of a libel suit and pledged that to marry into the Powells. The Bryngwyn Greenways then married into the Powells, but I have found no Greenway title records for L-y-G, so perhaps they were tenant farmers. The locals presumed they were itinerant miners as the father & son graves abut, but there are no Greenway graves of wives or children. I sent a photo of the graves to a Mormon researcher some years ago, so perhaps it was posted on familysearch.org
