« on: Saturday 10 April 10 22:53 BST (UK) »
hello everyone

where would someone who died in Bangor 1859 be burried?

his name was August Robert Martin, and was the Editor of the North Wales chronical when he died, his gravestone (bought by the freemasons) is over 6ft high 

I would love to find photographs of him but don't know where to look

thanks for that link Rhos, I see from reading it the earlest dates for for these cemeterys is 1861, the grave I am looking for is 1859, does anyone know if there are any old churches in Bangor with graves?
