Thats it seagers,! all it needs is the right prompt and things start coming back, I suppose at 82 it,s expected that memory needs a bit of exercise to keep it going, as I live in weston-s-Mare, will probably try to get across and spend a couple of days in Cardiff and go to the library and look things up, give me a chance to have a look around at some of my past place, although I understand that my school, spltt boys, is long gone, ahhhhh memories, what would we do without them, Thanks for the info. regards, Mike Evans

Hello Mike 

Good luck in Cardiff and enjoy your trip down memory lane!  If you can't get there for a while you could contact the library by telephone or email, as they will normally provide a photocopy of the obituary for a fee. Obviously you need a date of death plus the name and address to help them to find the correct reference.

Let us kno how you get on?
Kind regards
Morgan

If a burial took place in a municipal cemetery in Cardiff then contact Thornhill crematorium site as records are now digitalised and they will search for you.

A little caution with FHS monumental inscriptions, if a grave has / had no headstone then that information was not picked up by FHS unless they actually took information directly from the church / chapel burial records, I am pretty sure that municipal cemetery records won't appear on any FHS records

Hi, I hope someone may be able to help me locates the grave of my Grandparents? They are buried in a joint grave somewhere in Whitchurch, Cardiff - details as follows:

William Evan Davies died 11/9/62
Dorothy Maud Davies died 28/1/58

I have these details confirmed but the exact cemetery/church is proving a problem!

Thanks!
