Title: Elias Hope d1897 Talyllyn, where could he have been buried?
Post by: neno on Tuesday 12 August 14 10:54 BST (UK)
Elias Hope died 1897 at Talyllyn, in 1897.
I do not know the area, suggestions as to where he could be buried would be very welcome.
Thanks

His wife was buried in 1905 in the graveyard of Holy Trinity Corris; so I assume that he was also buried there. Unfortunately the MI's for Holy Trinity have not yet been published.

See  http://papuraunewyddcymru.llgc.org.uk/en/home?

and input "Elias Hope" (in "") in the search box for further details

I wonder if this miscreant is your Elias:

Y Negesydd, a Corris newspaper states that Elias Hope of Tanyfron, Corris died after a protracted illness on May 1st 1897. He was from Prestatyn and had lived in Corris for 35 years. He left a widow to mourn his loss. It further states that he was buried at Rehoboth Cemetery.
The MI 's for Rehoboth are available & there is no stone there for that name. I suspect that "Dolgellau" is correct  that he was buried at the church (for which there are no MI's yet)
Regards.

Did you find the extract from the  Negesydd on the Welsh newspapers online site because I have failed to find it there, though I did have an enjoyable time reading the Negesydd for May 1897.
Thank you
