Newspaper obituaries, Cardiff - dates of death known
« on: Monday 04 May 15 20:46 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out the burial locations of the children of my great-great grandfather's brother. The family were originally from Liverpool but moved to Cardiff in the late 1880s/early 1890s. Would anyone have access to newspaper death notices which may have information about their burials?

The names are:

Harriet Lilly Hine (nee Irwin) d. 11 June 1958, Cardiff
Ellen Sophia Price (nee Irwin) d. 5 Sep 1954, Ely Hospital, Cardiff
Archibald Irwin d. 7 Sep 1964, 41 Lower Cathedral Rd, Cardiff

Thank you!

Unfortunately the online newspapers only go up to 1919.  I checked Find My Past just in case they were part of an online parish record but other than the usual death record I couldn't find them (although there is a trade union and a school record for Archibald).  Best bet might be to check parish records at Glamorgan archives, which are searchable.

Contact the bereavement services section of Cardiff County Council - as you know the death dates they will be able to tell you if they are buried in any of the council cemeteries - more than likely - and if anyone else is buried with them. Very helpful and friendly staff.
