Your welcome. They did say that they couldn't guarantee and actually with my great great grandparents they couldn't find a record of their burial anywhere and said that that meant that they were likely buried in a churchyard and they don't keep the records of churchyard burials only the church does. Just for you to know that theres no guarantee in that case.

Good Luck with your search!

Your welcome. When I did it they ask for as much info as possible. Names, dates, and if you know any places they were living when they died.
Hope it helps you. 

Hi I'm looking for information relating to the births and places of burial for my great great grandparents Thomas and Ellen Welsh nee Christopher.
According to the 1901 census Thomas Welsh was born abt 1860 in Talywain Ireland. The 1911 census however says he was born in Kill, Waterford County. I've been unable to find anything else about his birth. He died in 1916 in Pontypool. According to the 1911 census he was an 'inmate' in Llangibby Pontypool district. I think this was the Pontypool union workhouse and think it's likely he died in the workhouse.

According to the 1901 census Ellen Welsh nee Christopher was also born in Talywain Ireland, again I'm unable to find anymore info. She died in 1904 . According to the 1901 census she was living with Thomas and 7 children in Abersychan. Strangely the town they were living in was called Talywain in Wales, is there a Talywain in Ireland? Were they actually born in Wales?

I've been in touch with the coucil for a grave search but they've been unable to find any record of them. They said it's possible they were buried in a churchyard and that they dont keep record of those burials only the churches do. Which is a bit of a pain as I have no clue what churchyard they could be buried in.
I'd appreciate some adivce on what my next step could be.
I know they were both Catholic so are there any Catholic churches with graveyards in the area of Abersychan?
And if Thomas died in the workhouse would he and other 'inmates' have been buried in a particular place?
Would it be worth getting hold of their death certificates for further info?

Thank you.

Thank you very much.
Nehemiah John Coyle is listed as my auntie's (my mother's half sisters) father on her birth certificate. She had always believed he had died in WWII, his service number was listed on the birth certifcate, but she never knew anymore about him.
Her mother, my grandmother, is listed on the certificate as Coyle so we had assumed they might have married but haven't been able to find a marriage certificate.

I've found Nehemiah John Coyle born in 1911 in a family tree on Ancestry but I'm not a full member so I can't contact the person. I mentioned this in a post on that site and someone contacted the owner of the tree for me but I never heard anything back.

There are just a few unanswered questions and it looks like they may never be answered.
Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you. I had found the marriage you mentioned and that did confuse things as family are sure that the William Welsh/Welch in our family never married and that Alice married Thomas.

Alice and Thomas had a daughter Doreen who I believe was Alice Doreen born 1919 in Bedwelty, who married Thomas Gardner.

The last line of your comment - 1901- is that the census your talking about?

Thank you.
