Hello s.r.,

If David Richard Rees is in Plot H in Kingsbridge, then I'm afraid his grave is not marked as 3 of us walked the plot today and didn't find him.

Likewise, Sarah Rees - if she is buried in Llansamlet Churchyard her grave seems also to be unmarked. It is unlikely that with the number you have given she would be in Bethel, as that is a relatively small Chapelyard.

Sorry.

Bev.
