Hello
Can anyone suggest a site where I can find the grave of my grand mother.
She died in Treforest on 9Th July 1945. Her name was Eileen Moore (ne Scanlon) and she was aged 47 when she died. She may possibly be buried with her husband Patrick Moore who died in December 1938 aged 50.
The reason for my search is to find her date and place of birth which is on the grave inscription so I may continue the search of my family tree.
She was Catholic if that helps in any way.
Many thanks for looking at this post
Julie

Thank you all for your help.
The marriage which Haydon found in Pontypridd is correct.
Finding her place and date of birth is proving to be illusive. I have searched the 1911 census and there is a Nellie Scanlon as a lodger living with a Ann Harrington in Pontypridd. She is stated as being a visitor from Kerry Ireland. She is the right age of 13.Maybe she was in service to Mrs Harrington who is stated as being a widow So I think the Nellie Scanlons from Newcastle are unlikely to be my gran. I have found a number of Nellies in the Irish censuses and baptism records. However,without a date of birth, I can't go any further. That is why I am pinning my hopes of a date of birth on her grave stone.
Can any one suggest any other records I can access where I can find her birth date and place of birth.
Thank you for giving a reference for my grand mothers burial plot. From this, I have been given a contact who can find out if there is a grave stone with the dates I need to continue my search.
