I am trying to locate the grave of John Thomas Owens, who I believe died in Pembroke on 9 February 1905. The date of death is from the probate record.
I have tried the Pembrokeshire County Council Burial Record Search, but he does not appear to be listed.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Turning to burial’s, normally St Mary’s takes place at Llanion after about 1868 with the act of closure of inner town churchyards and the into of out of town all faith cemeteries such as Llanion, St Michael and Monkton Cemeteries. Park St P.D. also closed circa 1868, however if you had family plot then burial continued until 1910, the same can be said for burials in the church yard at St Michaels after the 1807’s.
St Daniels for what ever reason is totally different. St Daniels never had any registers of Bapt Mrge or Burial and came under St Mary’s, although there is the odd reference that can be x/ref’d at St Michael’s for whatever unknown reason.
St Daniels is not and never have been covered by the P.C.C. database, this also goes for other areas of churchyards and cemeteries in the county responsibility of the P.C.C., but are not included (Narberth old lower churchyard comes to mind). I have frought my through the bracken, brambles and thorns of St Daniels on a number of occasions whichout any get success.
I have completed the research of Monkton St Nicholas Memorials and Headstones, but alas can find no reference that may assist your research.
I am also in the midst of trying to compile the history of the remaining headstones of St Michael and St Mary, but alas no results can be found to be of assistance.
