You can get a from

MOnumental inscriptions Parish church of St marys Whitchurch part 2
Monumental Inscriptions of St Mary Whitchurch . New Yard
are you aware that St Mary church is on a second site so thats why it is call new yard.
The original church was opposite the Fox and Hounds Whitchurch.

the people I am seeking are my father albert evans died 20/04/1967 and mother violet evans died 16/11/1966, as I have no contact with my remaining family in Cardiff I,m seeking help this way, Thanking in advance, Mike Evans

Hi Mike
Are you sure they are buried in St Marys Church Whitchurch? :-\
The book od Monumental Inscriptions gives no Albert or Violet Evans. Dare I ask you did you go to the actual funeral?
Did your parents live in Whitchurch and attend the Church? Sorry to ask these sorts of questions :-\
cheers cardiff
Ps if you don't want to reply on this topic send me a personal message :)
-
dont know the actual cemetery, whitchurch was based on a guess as I,d heard the name somewhere, as the funerals were organised by a relative, (long gone) all I remember is travelling from where ship was docked and then back to sea. sorry to be so vague, looks like I,ll have to troll around a bit. thanks anyway.
-
Hi M
My suggestion is to get death certificate to confirm where thet where living? Unless you know where they were living? ??? That would give some idea of the cemeteries, they could also have been cremated.
I see violets death4th qtr 1966 vol8b page 182 cardiff
Did Albert move to be with other family has he is I believe under east Glamorgan which I believe is pOntypridd way?
cheers cardiff

they both were living on the newport road in a group of bungalows occupied by ex seaman , the name of the shipping company that provided these bungalows was a Cardiff firm, sir, something or other. sorry I,m a bit vague on these things, I know dad was born at 21 railway street in 1901. thanks.

Hello :)
That would probably be Sir William Henry Seager
As you have the dates of deaths, you could try Cardiff library to check for obituaries in local newspapers.
Modified - Cathays Cemetery is not far from Newport Road.
Kind Regards

Thats it seagers,! all it needs is the right prompt and things start coming back, I suppose at 82 it,s expected that memory needs a bit of exercise to keep it going, as I live in weston-s-Mare, will probably try to get across and spend a couple of days in Cardiff and go to the library and look things up, give me a chance to have a look around at some of my past place, although I understand that my school, spltt boys, is long gone, ahhhhh memories, what would we do without them, Thanks for the info. regards, Mike Evans
-
Hello Mike :)
Good luck in Cardiff and enjoy your trip down memory lane! If you can't get there for a while you could contact the library by telephone or email, as they will normally provide a photocopy of the obituary for a fee. Obviously you need a date of death plus the name and address to help them to find the correct reference.
Let us kno how you get on?
Kind regards

Thanks but I am unfamiliar with those anmes

If a burial took place in a municipal cemetery in Cardiff then contact Thornhill crematorium site as records are now digitalised and they will search for you.
A little caution with FHS monumental inscriptions, if a grave has / had no headstone then that information was not picked up by FHS unless they actually took information directly from the church / chapel burial records, I am pretty sure that municipal cemetery records won't appear on any FHS records
-
Hello Splottboy,
Greetings from Cardiff.Regarding the bungalows on Newport road/Colchester avenue,I'm sorry to disappoint you but they were demolished quite a few years ago now.In there place are a load of retail units.Still if you haven't been here for a while you will see massive changes.

Hi, I hope someone may be able to help me locates the grave of my Grandparents? They are buried in a joint grave somewhere in Whitchurch, Cardiff - details as follows:
William Evan Davies died 11/9/62
Dorothy Maud Davies died 28/1/58
I have these details confirmed but the exact cemetery/church is proving a problem!
Thanks!
