The Lighter Side / Re: Coincidence or what!
« on: Yesterday at 10:06 »
(nothing to do with family history)

My brother driving (speeding) from Wick to Inverness stopped by the police.
Like myself he is a fluent Welsh speaker -
spoke to the P C  in Welsh telling him he couldn't speak English - P.C. smiled and said - 'dim problem - mi ges i fy magu yn Caernarfon'  - 'no problem I was raised in Caernarfon'

does this count as a coincidence ?

amondg - thanks.

It seems odd that Clara and George seem not have been buried together.

Clara Wilson died in Rotherham M1/4 1958 age 78.

She was the widow of one George William Wilson (b1859) who died in Oct 1930 - he is buried in Hough Rd Cemetery Rawmarsh but Clara not with him.
 I have possibly got the wrong George William Wilson ???

Rotherham Cemeteries very helpful - but they had no luck finding Clara.  Thank-you.

agree with Tin Man - don't recall ever seeing names of relatives of the deceased on a headstone -  plenty with references to the deceased being
 '....... dear husband/wife  mother/father grandfather/grandmother' etc -
 but no names of living relatives at the time of death on the headstone.

Looking for the grave of GEORGE WILLIAM WILSON  died last quarter of 1930 aged 71. He lived in Swinton near Rotherham and his local Church would have been  St Margaret's Swinton. Thank-you.
