Is anyone in a position to help me with a grave look up, please. My grandfather William Evans was buried on October 10th, 1910 in Llethrddu / Trealaw cemetery burials: burial number 19870 in plot P3.
I doubt if there is a gravestone but if there is what I am after is any reference to his date of birth or next of kin.
He was killed in a mining accident and died in Porth hospital.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation, Roger Evans

Hi Roger
Can`t help with the grave sorry. But checking Mining Accidents there was a William Evans injured 3rd October
1910 died 5th October 1910 could this be your grandfather?
I suppose his funeral could have been 10th October,
If it is I`ll dig further but there are so many William Evans
and a few deaths in 1910!!

just found the other posts for your grandfather and realise it will be just duplicating information that you obviously
already had

Do you have a copy of the internment record ??? This shows you who reported the death, how old the deceased was, where he lived etc.
-
Thanks for the feedback. The answer is "no" - I was unaware of such records (internment records). Can you advise where I should go for the details? Would it be the cemetery office? I have the grave plot and number, thanks to a kind Rootschat member. This may prove to provide the breakthrough I need.

There are internment records available for burials up until 1991 (I think) for cemeteries - you could contact Treorchy library via email give them the details and they will email the internment record to you - find details on Rhondda Cynon Taf website (will email you them off list )

Evelyn,
many thanks for the feedback. I have emailed GT as you suggested and keep my fingers crossed. Brilliant advice - thanks again.
