Does anyone live in Abertridwr ?

[Supergran!]

My G Grandfather Robert Wood Newton Carter  died at 4 Percy Place Abertridwr in 1906. I wonder if anyone knows where he is likely to be buried. Are there any local churchyards near there? We hope to visit Pontypridd soon & it would be lovely to visit his grave.
Many thanks

Thanks Sikes, I'll see if I can find some burial grounds there

There are plenty of graves there. Caerphilly library used to have an index of the people buried there, not sure if it still does.

Penyrheol Cemetery is also nearby but it didn't open till 1909.

I have emailed the Rector of Eglwysilan Church Sykes & he is going to look into his records for me- so hopefully he was buried there. I WILL find him !!!
 Thanks so much Sikes- really appreciate that

Just an update- I recieved a really nice email from the Rector today & he is buried in that churchyard ! Unfortuately the plot
plans were destroyed 30-40 yrs ago so she couldn't tell me where to find the grave but I have got the burial date
Thanks for your suggestions Sikes

Hi

There is no Percy Place in Abertridwr (the Caerphilly one) now. It may have been knocked down though but its unlikely.

Hope this helps.

 Hi Lionel
    On his death cert it definately says he died at 4 Percy Place Abertrdwr Caerphilly in 1906.
     Looks like its gone to the big building site in the sky !!
Thanks for your help anyway
Regards

In the 1901 census, the only Robert Carter (apart from a 6mth old in High Street) is living at 4 Brook Street (which is still there).
