HENLLAN WAR MEMORIAL - TROOPER J TYSON LLOYD - DIED 24 MARCH 1917
In Henllan Chapel yard is a large WW1 memorial with five names.

On behalf of a friend I am trying to locate the burial of John Tyson Lloyd who is recorded on the memorial.

TROOPER J TYSON LLOYD WELSH HORSE
GASSED GALIPOLI DIED IN THIS COUNTRY
MAR 24 1917

Would anyone know if he is buried in Henllan Chapel yard and if so where please?  I have tried looking but there are so many gravestones I thought someone might actually know.

For those interested Tyson was born in Henllan Amgoed parish and in 1901 was lodging at Henllan Mill with his father and family - his father was shown as a horse breaker.

By 1911 he was  working at Caeremlyn Farm and when he enlisted in 1916 was employed by Dr Thomas of Hillside Whitland as a groom.

The Tyson in his name is a family one that goes back many generations.

Hi

You have pisted on the Carmarthen board but isn't Narberth in Pembrokeshire?

[Crunwere]

Yes Narberth is Pembrokeshire but the Henllan Chapel where he might be buried is Carmarthenshire.

[CaroleW]

Both his birth and his death were registered in Narberth so it seemed more likely he would be buried in Pembrokeshire than Carmarthen.

I notice that the wording on the plaque does not suggest he is buried there.  I would have thought it would if he was.

Unfortunately his name is not on www.cwgc.org which would show his burial place

Hello Crunwere

Is the Chapel still in use ?.Maybe an idea if so ,to try & find out  where the Caretaker lives,they maybe can help.


The nearest Registry Office was Narberth for that area of Carmarthenshire.My ancestors lived close to Hellan Amgoed & looking at all the Certs I have they used Narberth,long way to  go to Carmarthen.
