Gwernaffield - help finding burial plot of my gggrandparents, please.

[Cariad.bach]

Hi

I'm looking to find the grave/s of my g.g.grandparents - Fred Jones was buried 25 June 1940, and his wife Annie Jones was buried 27 July 1959.

I have seen the parish records which show the funerals took place in Gwernaffield, however when I visited the cemeteries I couldn't find their grave/s (I don't know if they are buried separately or together) and I wondered if anyone had the plot records for Gwernaffield church. I have found other family members there, and would love to find my grandparents too.

Thank you,
Emma

Thanks Wrex, that's a lovely offer and very kind of you

I'm fairly local to the area, and I do visit now and again to lay flowers on the graves I have found, but am still missing this pair of great grandparents! Am off up to the Records Office in Hawarden in the next couple of weeks, so hopefully will find more there.

Thanks again

Hi John, thanks for your reply

I spoke to a lady at Mold library a couple of days ago, who looked through the grave plots/memorial inscriptions of the Gwernaffield cemeteries, and she said she couldn't find them either..

I'm at a bit of a loss now, and as the burials were relatively recent, I didn't think it would be this hard to find them

Hi

I noticed that the two people listed after Annie - and those on the following page - in the burial records have 'New Churchyard' in the margin . Also, one further down from Fred's entry has 'Cemetery ' written in margin. Nothing written against either of your granparents' entries, so I'd assume it would be somewhere in Holy Trinity  Could there have been some missing entries in the plot records

Hi Brevitas, so you've seen entries for both? Can I ask where so that I can have a look please. I'm getting more confused by this by the minute!

I'll have to go back and have another look for them, a lot of the church yard is in a bit of a state, with lots of gravestones overgrown with ivy etc, and also stones backing onto other stones that I couldn't see the inscriptions of, although I did think they were more likely to be older burials, maybe I've just missed them 

Thank you for your help
