Cocketts Church yard
« on: Sunday 19 June 11 10:02 BST (UK) »
Hi
Would someone be able to tell me where l can find burial records for Cocketts Church yard, I think it's St Peters in Cockett. My mum has just told me that her maternal granmother is buried there as she remembers going there when she was young. unfortunately l don't have a date of death but it was in the late 40's after the war, and her name is Eliza Jane Griffiths nee Hanney. I would also be interested to see if she is in a family plot.
Thanks for any help.

Hi

I dont think the info is available online but you could email them and ask if they hold the records, explain you live in Australia, and what info you are looking for - their email address is:

westglamarchives[-- at --]@swansea.gov.uk

Good Luck !

Hi again,

must be the website, WGAS Swansea will have good records for St peters parish church Cockett.
Live very near to St peters, as from Fforestfach.
If you like i could take photo of the grave for you and e-mail it.

regards,

Rob.
