lost grave
« on: Thursday 13 December 12 22:00 GMT (UK) »
Hi one and all, I am looking for the grave of one Hesther Jennet Hopkins, Died 1911 Swansea of TB. After reserching all availabke sources I know of including local authority I have been unable to find her resting place - As I live in kent  searching local graveyards is not an option. If anybody has any idea - I would be grateful

Hi

If she was the daughter of David James Cook and living with them and her husband Frank Hopkins, 7 children at School House Killay, there is a chapel with graves that might be worth looking at : Siloam Baptist Chapel which was rebuilt in 1899 and is on Gower Road Killay 

Click twice to enlarge map below and go to the mini roundabout to the left at the crossroads with Gotre Fach. Gotre Fawr and Gower Rd. The chapel is on the main road by the mini roundabout and the graves are behind it.
