Title: st mylins church , llanfyllin
Post by: alan w jones on Monday 27 September 21 08:07 BST (UK)

Hello , I have discovered that a couple of ancestors are buried at the above churchyard and wondered how I can find their burial plot and possible stone ? They were Humphrey Humphreys died 1859 and his wife Mary who died in 1851 . Any help would be much appreciated
Regards
Alan

There appears to be FindaGrave entries for it, Alan:

Add - Nothing showing for them - a Mary but wrong date.

Would Llanyglo refer to Glanfeiglo
