Title: Llanhilleth
Post by: zetlander on Thursday 24 March 11 00:04 GMT (UK): Ewart William Thomas died in Llanhilleth in September 1918.
He was the son of John Howard and Kathleen Thomas of 7? Commercial Road Llanhilleth.
Can any help me find the family grave - St Illtyd Church Cemetery?
Many thanks

He was buried in the graveyard of Christchurch, Aberbeeg.

I have some burial records from that time and amongst them is the following entry:

Ewart William Thomas Llanhilleth age 7 16/07/1918

Aberbeeg is less than a mile north of Llanhilleth.
