Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Re: Burial Panteg cemetery Amelia Silvester
« on: Wednesday 19 February 20 21:17 GMT (UK)  »
I live opposite Panteg cemetery, I can walk there in 2minutes. If you can get a response from them with regards to a plot number I would be more than happy to pop over and see if I can find a headstone for you. A location map of the plots if you can get it would be helpful also. It’s a huge cemetery and I have limited free time on weekends only, I.e. I can’t spend all day looking ha ha x

Monmouthshire / Re: Where can I find out about Abergavenny
« on: Friday 13 April 18 22:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi Keith

I grew up in Abergavenny, I only live 10 miles from there now.  My dad is buried in the Abergavenny Cemetery.    What do you want to know?

And yes, Tudor Street most certainly does exist.  It leads from the Castle down to Merthyr Road and the police station is on that road, a Doctor’s Surgery, and Linda Vista Gardens (open to the public).
Below is a link to the bottom of Tudor Street - you can just go forward to go all the way up

If you do find anything and your relative is buried in Panteg Cemetery, please let me know - I live opposite the cemetery and would be happy to photograph the grave stone for you if I can find it.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Richard Burton Archives lookup

How would I get hold of the HM Inspector of Mines reports Sam?  I’ve tried googling it and searching the National archives Discovery section but can’t find anything relating to the area for the relevant time period.  I have found reference to a chap called Ian Winstanley who used to have a mining reports website but that no longer exists and his index is on Ancestry, which I have already searched to no avail.

Thanks for your help

Debra

Thanks for your reply John. I would be eternally grateful if you could do some look ups for me and am more than happy to pay for the copying charges and something for your time/petrol. Do you have a Paypal account? If you let me know when you plan to go a bit nearer the time I can send you money before you go if you tell me how much you want. Or I could send you a cheque - whatever you want to do. Thanks so much :)

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Richard Burton Archives lookup

My great grandfather Evan Davies was hit by a tram at Lewis Merthyr Colliery Pontypridd on 1st Aug 1922. He died from his injuries on the 6th Aug 1922.     Unfortunately I am told that there was a publisher strike that month and there is nothing in the newspapers.

I have made some enquiries and have been told that there may be a mention of the accident in some records at the Richard Burton archives in Swansea, and I was wondering if anyone could possibly go along and have a look for me? I would be happy to pay. The references are below:

Having consulted the catalogues the records of Lewis Merthyr Lodge exist for the period in question and may contain relevant information:
SWCC/MNA/NUM/L/48/6 – General and Committee Meetings minutes (also minutes of Bertie and Trefor Lodge), October 1920-September 1922
SWCC/MNA/NUM/L/48/31 - ledger containing lodge accounts, 1899-1956
SWCC/MNA/NUM/L/48/43 – Miscellaneous correspondence and papers, 1922-1952
SWCC/MNA/NUM/L/48/61 – Minutes of Committee meetings, Lewis Merthyr Workmen’s Hall and Institute

I am desperate to find out something about this accident? Can anyone help? Thank you all so much in advance.

Debra
