Hello lynne1897,

What sort of period in time are you looking for?

There is a good page on Genuki about Llanrhos (Eglwys Rhos)

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CAE/EglwysRhos/

The main burial ground is at St Hilary's. This is still in use today.

      Hi,   If you go on billiongraves.com  they have photos of 2,709 graves in the Llanrhos Cemetery Old Section.   The burials appear to commence in the 1890's.     However this cemetery is attached to St Hilarys Church which have older graves but unfortunately there are no photos of that section.    Hope this helps.      gwynd

Hello Lynne,

There is a good Genuki page on Glan Conwy

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/DEN/LlansanffraidGlanConwy/

You may well be looking at non conformist churches and chapels in that area.

I note that some of the parish registers were destroyed in a fire, those lost were for the years 1729-1740. There are Bishops' Transcripts but these do not cover the missing years completely.

What names and years are you researching? There are some original registers available on Find my Past but I am not sure whether those for Llanrhos and Glan Conwy are included in these. I couldn't get any burials on Freereg for this period.

Jo.

Hello lynne,

It looks as if some of these burials would have been in other locations than Llanrhos.

For example, Llanelian yn Rhos is outwith the Llanrhos area and the Genuki page is here:

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/DEN/Llanelian/

The church there was St Elian. This place is located about 6 miles from Abergele and some distance from Llanrhos.

You mention Towyn as being the place William Roberts lived and this is near Abergele too. The Genuki page is here:

http://genuki.org.uk/big/wal/DEN/Towyn/

I will post some more in due course.

Jo.
