Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Llandinabo churchyard

Hi Allan,
Llandinabo parish church (St Dinebo / St Junabius) was rebuilt in 1881 by A Lloyd Oswell. The site and grave yard is obviously much older, but I'm not aware of any suggested dates.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to any records relating to the parish and can't therefore help with the information you request about your family. Best of luck with your search - Nick

Hi again Tricia,
I think you'll find the following information interesting. Llandinabo Church and the churchyard are well worth a visit, although quite difficult to locate. I understand that it is kept unlocked. If you'd like directions, just let me know.

Hyett Gravestones at Llandinabo Churchyard:

29   Emily daughter of Edwin and Sarah Hyett, 1912
30   Frederick James Hyett, 1908. Alice, wife of Frederick James Hyett, 1930
31   not known
32   Alfred Hyett, 1893
33   not known
34   not known
35   Ann Hyett
*    Mary, wife of Richard B- -den??? (illegible)
37   Martha Hyett, 1857. Frederick Hyett
38  Martha wife of Alfred Hyett

64   ----- Hyett, wife of Edwin Hyett, 1925. Edwin Hyett, 1927

The above details have been extracted from a plan of the graveyard which is displayed inside the church. (This plan of the graveyard was so helpful. I do wish other churches would follow this example!)
I think that the graveyard plan was compiled quite recently and from information displayed on headstones, rather than from the burial register. It would be worth looking at the burial register as there are likely to be numerous burials in unmarked graves. Grave 64 is a double grave in the north east section of the churchyard.

The above Hyett graves 29 – 37 form a straight line across the width of this part of the churchyard, south of the church. Numbers 31, 33 and 34 are listed as “not known” as the graves do not have gravestones. Although it is not possible to say with certainty that they are Hyett graves, all headstones along this line are Hyett graves.  * denotes grave position 36. This headstone has been weather damaged and part of the inscription is missing.

I tried to attach a photo of the church, but without success. Apparently images have to be less than 500kb and my photos are all around 3-4 mb. I took a photo of each Hyett gravestone. Using a computer, it'll be possible to zoom in on the image - you'll probably be able to read most inscriptions. I'll see if I can send you my email address in a private post. I can either email each image to you or send you a disk with all the photos on. Hope to speak again - Nick

Hi Tricia,
I understand how difficult it can be to squeeze in research when visiting. I'm at home this evening so can make a start on sending the information. I'm new to RootsChat - only signed up yesterday, so will have to learn how to send images. I photographed all of the Hyett grave stones at Llandinabo. With one exception, they are all in a row running south to north - that is, at right angles to the church building. Speak later - Nick

Thank you so much for letting me know this.  I'll have another go as soon as I can.

Hi nelletap,
Did you re-visit Llandinabo Church? I was there last week and have information about the Hyett burials taken from the graveyard plan in the church. Also headstone photos. Let me know if they're of any interest to you.
