I didn't realise that Maesteg Cemetery had been transcribed? I knew Llan had - wish I knew sooner (not that I didn't enjoy tramping up and down the rows of graves with a notepad looking quite insane).

Think I found just about everyone I was looking for, but suspect a few of them are in unmarked graves as I know they're not in Llan - still looking for deaths in the records to try and locate the plots - not easy when you know that they were still alive in 1901, but no idea after that!

Lovely - in work at the moment, all my stuff is in the house, so will have to find the names - only two of them, both Buckley, I would have thought that they had died before 1940 (given approx DOB's), but after 1901. I haven't found the grave yet, so I suspect it may be unmarked

Only that he died in  Maesteg Row which Bridgend Register office informed me was in Maesteg. Also that the death was registered by his brother George. Not a lot to go on but afraid all I have. Eirwen

Hello Eirwen

No trace of your man in the burial records. I will have to recheck what I have. This looks like your family in 1891.

Hi Gareth I have now received a newspaper obituary for the William Morgan who died  in June 1891 . The obituary says he was a harpist. Looks like the family you discovered is not mine. Can you inform me did  a harpist travel around Wales , playing in different locations and maybe staying in Inns or boarding houses.
Any ideas on this, maybe William just happened to be in the area when he died and then taken back to his own home for burial. Just thinking of alternatives. Eirwen.

Alun,
My g grandmother had a cousin called William Morgan who won the harp competition at the World Fair in Chicago in 1898. Is this your William Morgan?
