Trying to follow an entry in my ggrandmother's birthday book

I have  a Robert Griffith bn abt 1890 son of Evan & Mary living in Llanllyni, is there any connection.

Hi

Ive been looking around the cemetaries in llanllyfni & clynnog for some time now looking for owen hughes died 1882..Am i right in thinking that there is a cemetary behind the closed chapel half way up?as well as over the road?and i saw you wrote there is two cemetaries in Clynnog itself?as i have ruled out brynaerau and capel uchaf.Any help would be great.Thanks

Hi,

The Gwynedd Family History booklet I have for Capel Salem, Llanllyfni shows an 1882 entry for Owen Hughes (Plot 488) buried June 22, age 81 - address shown as Voel. Is this your man?

There are also other entries for Voel, Llanllyfni as follows -

Plot 705 - Owen Hughes and Catharine Hughes age 3 and 1, buried Oct 18 1890   
Plot 668 - John Hughes age 13, buried April 3 1889
Plot 407 - Ellin Hughes - no age shown, buried Nov 4 1879

Hi
I have added Owen Hughes's info into my ancestry tree..Im stuck now on John Hughes his son.he was born in 1841 in the clynnog area..and died in january 1908.married to Mary 1850-1927.Owen hughes is buried with his grandson john hughes died at 13 years of age.Which is where the confusion was..Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks

Hi,

The Salem Capel booklet mentions -

1921 - Mary Hughes of Y Foel  buried Oct 2 age 75 (Plot 1196) and
1927 - John Hughes of Y Foel buried Feb 6 age 86 (Plot 1226)

The booklet says Gwrandawr next to Mary's entry - not sure what this means but if you know perhaps you would explain.

I realise the dates conflict with what you have said, but is this the family?

Alan

PS there is also another possible family member in Plot 1327 - David Hughes of Foel in the year 1939 buried Aug 19 age 70.

Yes they are thank you..the problem i had is currently there are foel uchaf (where i live), foel isaf, foel ganol and foel dryll.but at that time census state that john thomas was at foel isaf so im going with what you said.on the census i read it said about before the dates therefore im going with the gravestones).gwrandawr is a weird one..sounds like listener translated..but maybe its old welsh as thats a different language altogether..Thanks Again very helpfull.
