Title: Help neede with Monumental Inscription
Post by: Ellenmai on Monday 18 August 25 15:17 BST (UK)

I have been trying to find a grave for George Fernandes born 1926 & found one on Billion Graves in St Trillo Church, Llandrillo yn Rhos, Denbighshire but can't access it for the details. I can't find details on any other site so wondering if anyone could please help me, thank you.

Perhaps contacting the church is an answer.  :-\

Facebook seem to have contact details.

Or they also suggest you can get it free  ::)

Get Access for FREE
Contribute 250 transcriptions or 500 photos to get full access to this record.

That would take a while.  I appreciate that once you have contributed 250 transcriptions or taken 500 photographs you probably have free for ever access but that is a lot of records. 

I submit entries to findagrave but it is good to know that they don't charge people to look at them.  ;D

Thanks for the replies but I think it's a complete rip off to charge people, as for all that work you would have to do to get free access it would take years. Billion Graves are an absolute disgrace.
