Llanwonno St. Gwynno's

Hi All,
Could someone help with looking at a gravestone in Llanwonno St Gwynno churchyard please.
I know my g-g-g-grandfather is buried there with some of his grandchildren and his daughter in law, but I would like to know if his date of birth is on the grave and if his wife is in the same grave and if so what was her name. 

His name is Evan Morgan and he died Dec 1841.  Also in the grave is Jane Morgan his daughter in law who died Feb 1862.

Any information from this headstone would be gratefully received
Many thanks

Hi,

Yes, Glamfhs was where I got the information from - I was hoping there was a more definite birth date and some information on his wife either on the headstone or in the church records.

I have hit a blank wall with Evan before 1841.  I am unable to find his wife's name, marriage date or his birth date and I was hoping there was something that could be of interest on the headstone.

Thanks for taking the time to look up the Glamfhs files though

I have a photo of a grave of an Evan Morgan of Talywinder buried with others, including a Jane in Llanwonno church. I'll upload it shortly.

That's amazing! Are there many headstones of that age at St Gwynno's?

[Sam Swift]

Does not appear to mention his wife. She must have already died. The Welsh "ei" indicates the relatives are his rather than belonging to say him and a wife (which would be indicated by the word "eu" = their).

Hi Deirdre
Yes there are lots of gravestones of that age and older, such as Guto Nyth Bran's grave (Griffith Morgan), but many graves have no headstone at all.
