There's a death registered for an Emily A Williams

Do you have the information from the census?

Hopefully someone else will be able to help with the burials at Gwersylt.

I'm also trying to find the house my mum lived in in gwersyllt i have a photo of her standing by the house when she went to visit years ago all i know is that is is by the wheatsheaf near the mold road and I think the house in the picture was a mid terrace painted white and I think it had a plaque on the wall I was told it had been a chapel but might be getting mixed up thanks for any news

Summerhill is an adjoining village to Gwersyllt.As far as William Dodd is concerned,it just so happens that I am booked into the A N Palmer Museum at Wrexham tomorrow morning to do some research.Part of which was concerning a Dodd family from Broughton for my cousin in Canada.I will look for your William.Who knows he could well be connected to my cousin's Dodd family!
