Crosshaven

Hoping someone can help with a lookup favour?
Am searching for the burial record and/or monumental inscription for a John Rogers MORGAN, Royal Engineers who died in 1908 on a parade ground in the Cork area, maybe Crosshaven - I have one record of him being stationed at Fort William, but I can't find a fort of this name on maps, and only either Camden /Meagher or Templebreedy would seem to fit location-wise.
Can anyone help?
 

Hi there
The Mwldan was/is an area in Cardigan off the High Street/Pendre. It has a stream of the same name running through it which had its outlet into the river Teifi, the main river on which the town was built.
At this time the area was very crowded and a lot of people living in it were employed in the trades associated with Cardigan's shipbuilding industry - sailmakers, carpenters, millwrights etc. It was also fairly close to the Workhouse and gaol.
At some stage the area was cleared of its slums, and these days a large car park behind the town hall covers the site, together with the Theatre Mwldan - there was also a clothing factory in the 1980's making clothes under the Slimma brand, which has long since closed.
Check out the local town's museum website and for local history publication published by the Teifiside Advertiser.
St Mary's Cardigan is the registration district for the whole town. The parish church of Cardigan is St. Mary's and has a huge churchyard. The local Cardiganshire FHS publishes MI's for it. Cardigan also has a large number of non-conformist chapels. The municipal graveyard is called Netpool.
Hope this offers some clues? 

I can completely understand the confusion here.
Turnham Green as mentioned in earlier posts, is in Chiswick. It is a green in the (now) middle of Chiswick which has a late C19 church - Christchurch still operating, but no graveyard.
For the period you are looking at, the parish church would have been St. Nicholas, which is of significant historical interest, including its churchyard which closed in 1854 and includes the graves of both Hogarth and Whistler. (The churchyard re-opened in 1867 following a grant of land by a local benefactor, but for any burials betwen those dates, anyone searching will need to look further afield outside London, in for example, the Woking cemetery.)Thanks to the efforts of the Friends of St Nicholas, the parish registers have been restored.

Needless to say, Turnham Green today is VERY exclusive, and many of the original dwellings that would have stood around it during the period that you are researching have long since disappeared. I would be happy to try and help further with any Chiswick-specific question.
