Title: Help needed to find a grave in Holywell please
Post by: Wyndaff on Friday 21 November 25 19:27 GMT (UK)
My Taid, Isaac Mostyn Jones is buried with his first wife Phoebe Dilys Hughes somewhere in Holywell.
I was abroad with the forces and my sister was about to give birth so neither went to the service.

Isaac born 20 May 1913, died 1992
Phoebe born Sept 1910, died Mar 1947
Married Jun 1940

I have a copy of note from Doctor, Constable and statements from Ike and Phoebe's sister Gweneth Gwladys Hughes from the time of death. All very sad but interesting.

I've tried the usual free sites and online records form Holywell places of burial but no luck.

Is anyone able to help or do I need to search through Parish records held in Hawarden ?

Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge with this.

Welcome to rootschat

Have you tried local newspapers for any reports of Phoebes death / funeral

There is a small cemetary in Holywell at the back of Bryn Aber - Wedgewood Heights.  Postcode CH8 7NZ

My husbands aunt was buried there in 1991 & his cousins wife was also buried there in 2012

The cousin lived in Bryn Aber & the cemetary was visible from the back of his house
