Title: WATTS death Swansea
Post by: Dalet on Thursday 11 May 23 09:18 BST (UK)

I have two 4great grandparents who both died at St.David's Place, Swansea in 1872.

Henry WATTS 5 Jun 1872
Elizabeth WATTS 29 Aug 1872

Both are natives of Devon.

I have yet to determine where they were buried.

If I purchased a death certificate would it show place of burial?

Many Thanks

Dale

Hi
If you are willing to spend £10 the local Council will look for you.

West Glam burial registers are on line but cannot find an entry for the pair.
Across the river from St David's Place is Danygraig cemetery (opened 1856?). 

What's the source of the death address - St David's Place? I note in 1871 they are in Water Street, Neath. Always associate St David's with the Catholic church and priory.

This is St David's Place 1877 (2 maps)

Checking the map has brought back memories of the Rutland pub - now long gone!

Thank you, that's probably my best option at this stage.

Thank you for looking.

Henry and Elizabeth both died at the residence of their daughter Elizabeth (Betsy) Parkin. She was the proprietress of The Railway Inn, which she continued to run up until her death in 1901, her husband George predeceasing her in 1880. Betsy is buried in St.Luke's Anglican churchyard, while quite a few of her Parkin children are buried in Danygraig.

Thanks again, Dale
