Does anybody have a copy of the Memorial inscriptions for St Hywyn's Church Aberdaron? I am looking for the details on the Memorial to Ann(e) Griffith(s), Bryn Canned, who died on 25 October 1821 aged 87. Ann Griffith was a practitioner of folk medicine who was noted for her use of foxgloves (digitalis) decades before the scientific community confirmed its value in treating heart health. I can't find any details about her personal life, parents, husband, children etc other than a comment in her entry on the Oxford Dictionary of National biography "(she) had been predeceased by at least one child, a daughter. https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/70541 (https://doi.org/10.1093/ref:odnb/70541) I would be interested to know if this daughter is mentioned on Ann's MI and if any other family members are mentioned; also if there are any other's from Bryn Canned / Bryn Caniaid /Bryn Cynaid /Bryncaniad buried in the cemetery who might be potential relations.
