Title: glynogwr churchyard PIC if poss - COMPLETED
Post by: leo on Saturday 09 October 10 19:04 BST (UK)
I am trying to trace an uncle of mine who died young.  His name was Garfield Evans.  I believe he was buried in Glynogowr churchyard.  My grandparents were buried there also and I believe he was in the same plot.  My grandparents names were Joseph Jones Evans b 1883 d 1938 & Mary Blodwyn nee Parry b 1886 d 1935 (all dates approx within a couple of years).  I think Garfield must have lived somewhere between 1902 & 1923.

I need to know this information now  for purposes other than FH and I'd be sooo grateful if someone could let me know who is interred in this plot.

If somebody lives close.  I could give them details of were the memorial stone is and a pic would be excellent.

Thanks for any help given

Bridgend County Borough Council list Glynogwr cemetery as their responsibility.

Contact the Burials Officer.

EMail:  talktous@bridgend.gov.uk

They do state on their website that if a search is resolved with in 10-15 minutes there is no charge, however, a charge of £26.50 is made for extensive searches.
