Title: Donald Davies of Ynyshir
Post by: sarahh1 on Thursday 31 March 11 19:09 BST (UK)
I have been trying to find a burial place for Donald Davies he died aged 4 years old. He was born in 1934 Q3 and died 28th December 1938. As his parents lived in Upper Gynor Ynyshir I am presuming he was buried in Trealaw Cemetary. His Parents names were Herbert Sidney Davies and Nanna Davies nee Evans. Please could someone inform me as to how I can find out where he was buried.

Many Thanks

Sarah

Hi Sarah there is only one 4 year old Donald Davies in Trealaw and he was buried in 1939, he is in grave no. W428.
It is probably the right child if he died dec 28th, he would possibly have been buried early January 1939.

Best Wishes Bethan

Have you got them on any censuses? When I have time tomorrow I will check if there are any other family buried with Donald, but as you can imagine there are a lot of Davies's in the Rhondda so it might take a while.

Best wishes Bethan

I have got some names from the census, these are:
Nellie Davies Born 25th july 1908 - died 12th oct 1911, Wattstown

May Davies Born 26th dec 1911 - died 3rd nov 1916, Wattstown

Leonard Arthur Davies born 2nd nov 1902 - died 8th dec 1976 at Dewi Saint Hospital, Pontypridd but he lived in Porth

Herbert Sidney Davies Born 1904 died between 1979-1990 , Ynyshir

The above are all brothers and sisters. Their Parents were:
Arthur John Davies Born 1882? - died 13th May 1955, Wattstown

Annie Davies nee Sullivan Born 9th Feb 1881 - died 23rd Sept 1966 in Southall, Middlesex but we believe she may have been brought back to Porth to be buried with her husband.

I hope this would be some help, we really appreciate all of your help.
