I was just wondering whether anyone here had ancestors/relatives buried at this Chapel in York Street, Swansea.

The Church dates back to 1830 and there are  gravestones outside and memorial tablets inside the church.  Anyone got any connections?  I have been a member of this Church all my life,

There are some prominent memorials in the entrance porch,  and a remembrance garden to Rev. Roberts, father of the Llanelli born actress Rachel Roberts.
Ouch!!  What a small world!  ..  ..  ..  and this thread started in June 2008, it wasn't until recent posts bounced the thread to the head of the 'Glamorgan' queue, coupled with a return to my investigations into my OH's tree elsewhere in this bulletin board that I came across this thread.  You should know instantly who I am from the alias I use.

As it happens I've been intregued by the large memorial stone for the Harris family in front of the chapel, having even tracked down a couple of possible census returns for the family, but have not porogressed very far as other commitments keep jumping the queue for my free time.
