Glamorgan Family History Society have a Monumental Inscription book for St Gwynno, Llanwonno
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wlsglfhs/book2.htm
It costs 9.00 GBP.
What's in the Booklet
Monumental Inscriptions are normally transcribed from headstones in the churchyard, Plinths or plaques in the church. The booklet normally contains a plan of the graveyard and an alphabetical surname index of those names transcribed. Then there is a transcription of each headstone / plinth / plaque.

That could be my answer, thanks

Sorry Mamof2, Just seen your posting, I would be happy if you could look up my Lloyd family, do you need any more information.

Thank you Haydon, I knew my three Lloyd's were buried there, I wanted to know if they had a stone, Thomas Lloyd came from Tregaron, where his wife died in 1865 and was buried there,with some of their children, I found her stone.
It was too much to find his as well.
Many thanks Joan

They were the only Lloyd's, his other children I have traced, thank you all the same.

I believe my gr gr grandfather is buried at St Gwynno. William Roberts born 1837 or 1838 and possibly died or buried 11 October 1894.
Can anyone help me find out if this is correct?
thanks teddy in the USA

Hi Teddy,
William Roberts Burial date 11/10/1894 Address Pontygwaith age 55
regards Joan
-
Joan, thank you so much!

The last time I was in Llanwonno, around 1995, I could not find the headstone of my grandparents, it was so over grown. Therefore, I would be surprised if that has changed at all, but there again, not only may I be wrong, but I could contact some-one who may have more recent knowledge, if that is of help. I am originally from the mining villlage of Blaenllechau, which is just a couple of miles from the Church, and spent many hours there during my childhood.

hi Brian
and thank you for your reply!
When I was in Wales in 07 I did go to the cemetery to see the grave of the famous runner and yes the grave yard was pretty overgrown.
Do you by chance know of how I can find the Church records to see if this is the one I am looking for. There are so many William roberts during this time frame at FREEBMD there is no way I can send for all of them :>)
This is the most possible for me with the age and area and death time frame.
I don't even know if there is a headstone but if there is I am hoping for a birth date.

Teddy, I went to Ferndale in June of this year for the first time for over 10 years, and even though there are people now compiling as much history of the area as possible, I am not sure whether they have the facility to answer questions from the wider public like this. Having said that, I shall email one of my contacts and find out how we can obtain any information like this. Please bear with me, as the person concerned is involved in a lot of other things as well.

thanks Brian appreciate any help!

First port of call has said, GFH Booklets for all parish registers are available for purchase in booklet form - and was listed under 'rootsweb'??? I'm not the computer 'whizzkid', but let me know if you want more information.

Hi I've got the booklets for Llanwonno Parish Registers, and can confirm William Roberts burried 11th October 1894 age 55 Address given as Pontygwaith. Ilive nearby and went there earlier in the year looking to photograph a gravestone for someone, we have the description of the headstone, and the No. of the grave, but I couldn't find it. It is overgrown. But don't give up , if this weather improoves I shall have another go.
Cheers

I have seen photos of the church and churchyard it's look lovely, it's a pity its so far from London, I would love to see it.

I have found that this William Roberts buried at St. Gwynno's is not "mine"
I finally found the correct death cert. William died in the Pontypridd Union Workhouse 17 Jan 1885. He was 49 years old.
I have checked Treorcy ,Trealaw, Penrhys ,Ferndale and Glyntaff cemeteries, but guessing he is in a common grave with possibly no record?
many thanks to those who helped me with this. Teddy

H . Sorry to jump in here. I have just found that I have a relative buried in llanwonno cemetery. I know the date of death but don't know the plot number. Any ideas how to find this? I've been told to contact the church but there is no number for the church. Any help would be greatly received. The relative is Thomas Colcombe and Mary Ann Colcombe he died 19 may 1890. She died 1892. Thanks in advance.

Laurie, the chances of finding plot numbers for Llanwonno are slim to say the least. The Church and the pub - The Brynffynon Hotel - are the only two buildings there. Others have said, as I have, the Graveyard is totally overgrown and has been for more years than 20 which was the last time I went there. My last memory of who may be responsible for the church is the Church in Mountain Ash, but this could have easily changed. I have several members of the Davies & Evans families buried there and it is worth noting that Llanwonno is about 5/6 miles from Ferndale and roughly the same to either Ynysybwl and Mountain Ash. Good luck.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I had a feeling the chances of finding the plot number is slim. He was buried in 1890. I visited the cemetery yesterday and will be trying again soon, hopefully I can just stumble across him. I'm from Tylorstown, so that's worth noting, we're not Dar from each other. Thanks for the help, I'll need a lot of luck I think!
-
No problem Laurie, I actually live in Cheshire, and was last at home in 2010 when Ferndale Rugby Club opened the 'Sir Stanley Baker Lounge', the connection is the film 'ZULU' and the fact that Ferndale Imperial Male Voice Choir did the singing of Men of Harlech at Llanwonno for the film, and I was part of the soldiers lining the foyer in Cardiff in March 1964 for the Welsh Premiere - I was stationed at Warminster at the time.

Hi Laurie, I've looked at parish registers, can't find no of graves, but Thomas was born in 1846 died in 1890 as you said. And Mary Ann was born in 1877 and died in 1892 age 15. Both were from Tylorstown. Rhondda. Will try and find out if any records and where they are
-
Hi. Thank you for that. I've found a record on find my past stating that Thomas is in llanwonno but can't find anything else. And can't find anything on Mary Ann. Any help would be amazing thank you.
