Hi ronniej !  You have done a great job !  Thanks so much !!  At least, now I know for sure there is no grave marker in 464K.  But you also found something new for me.  Her son Ernest is also buried there.  I did not know that before.  Thanks again !!  And the pics came out great !

Hello wiggy !  No problem.  I apologize for misunderstanding your post.  Glad to hear you have found some rellies' grave  pics online.  I have found one on findagrave site myself.  It's a great site and has a large database.  However, I noticed for Danygraig Cemetery it has about 1300 entries.  But I happen to know there's over 21,000 burials there.  But I really appreciate your help.  Thanks...g'day !

Hi dawnsh !  Thanks for all that helpful info.  No, it's no point sending anybody out there without knowing for sure yet what's there. I suspect there isn't a grave marker for her.  I will pursue your suggestions.  If I can zoom in and take a looksee myself, that would be cool !

Thanks again !

Thanks for looking.  I'm pretty sure she's there. I was at the Swansea Archives two years ago and found her listed on the Danygraig Cemetery burials CD.  Is it possible the list you're looking at is incomplete ?  Is it a list of monument inscriptions only ?  If so, that could indicate she doesn't have a headstone or any kind of decipherable marker.  I'm curious, is there anyone on the list you have in the adjacent plots.....463K and 465K ?   I might recognize the names.

Thanks again for your assistance.  I'm in the USA.  I was there 2 yrs ago, but didn't have enough time to get over to the cemetery myself after finding her listed on the CD.

Anyone descended from William Davies, a mercer, of Llandovery.  Born about 1770, died Apr 5, 1833.   His will was proved in April 1833.  His wife was Mary ------.  His children were :  Mary, William, Rachel(died young), Thomas, John, Rachel, David, Elizabeth and Frederick.  I am descended from Rachel (second one listed) and her husband Owen Jones.  Children births ranged from about 1802 to 1818. Would be interested in sharing info with others on this family.

Would like a photo taken of my great-grandmother's grave in Danygraig Cemetery. Her name was Mary Williams (maiden name Jones).  She is buried in plot 464K.  She died 31 Jan 1911 and was buried 3 Feb 1911.  If anyone happens to be heading out there with a camera, I would really appreciate it.  I'm not sure that there is a headstone on her grave however.  Thanks !
