Hi Tafess,
Have no interest in the Eames family. As I live in the area and am a regular visitor to Caernarfon Archives, I looked for information in reply to request from initiator of the topic.

Hi,
Visited Glanadda Cemetery about 3 weeks ago; spent about an hour and a half looking for the Eames grave, but without success. Called at the office at Bangor crematorium/Bangor New cemetery, near Llandygai, today. Official there very helpful and gave me information that enabled me to identify both graves.
Grave at new cemetery:
The stone is quite new and appears to have been erected after burials in 1999 and 2000. As Rootschat policy is not to allow naming of living people and those who have recently died, I'll leave blanks in the inscription and supply info by PM.
"In loving memory of  ------  ------  Eames, dear father and taid('grandfather for those not familiar with the Welsh language), who passed away October 6th 1999, aged 57 years. "Rest in Peace". ------- Eames  27-3-1920   -    23-7-2000, dear mother of ------, ----- and ----- . "Forever in our Hearts".
Underneath are written 3 names, but no details. I assume that these were family members that had previously been buried in that grave. William Moses Eames, who I have previously mentioned as being buried in this grave in 1935, but as Moses Henry Eames (?). The other 2 names were Margaret Eames and James Henry Eames.

When leaving I happened to notice another Eames grave.
In memory of John, beloved son of W & K Eames, 11, Tabernacle Street, Bangor, 1919 -1946. Also his beloved father William Eames, 1880-1948. Also his beloved mother Kate Eames, 1882-1961. "Peace perfect Peace".
On the grave surround is written, 'Also beloved daughter Nellie, 1906-1981.

I'm having trouble with the Rootschat system when typing something this long, so I'll carry on in a seperate Reply.
I'll recheck some of the details sometime.

Hi
Moving on to Glanadda Cemetery.
There does not appear to be a stone on the Glanadda grave. At the location I've worked out for the grave, there are 3 or 4 graves with no stone. Lying on the grass in that area there is a small stone with the initials, JE, EE, WE and ME, the initials of the 4 Eames' buried there. I've made a note of the info on surrounding graves and checked the plot numbers for those graves in the records at Caernarfon Archives. Will revisit Glanadda sometime armed with this info to recheck.

I mentioned previously in relation to Moses, who was a railway worker, that I'd seen something in the local paper re death of two workers in Bangor railway tunnel. I've rechecked paper around time of Moses' death but found no reference to him or the accident. I probably read about the accident when looking at the paper for some other time period.

I notice that in one of my previous replies that I said that I had some info re Eames family which I would include in a later posting and that I have not done so. I'll check it out.

Hi Emyr Borth,
Thank you for your interesting research re the Eames family.  I am now able to fill a few more places on the Eames family chart.

Has anyone any details about Steven Eames c 1600 and his wife Margaret?  Anything about any Eames around that time would be most helpful.  Thank you.
