Can you look up please monumental inscriptions for St. Cadoc's Churchyard, Trevethin, Monmouthshire, Wales - JOHN WILKINSON, wife MARGARET W., son died 16 yrs.  grandson William EVANS, b/died 1868.
A family grave with red granite tombstone still standing.  Have photo. of gravestone but not definite details of inscription(s). I have written to Vicar of St. Cadoc's but have had no reply.   Ruth MacLeod, in Australia ??? :D

Is Llanhilleth one of your areas?

If so, could you look for one "George Wilson" death probably around 1900 - 1918

Thanks for looking.

It would help if you posted the photo so that anyone going there could get an idea of what it looked like.
I occasionally get there but not planning to do so this year but who knows?

Brought up an internet site for St. Cadocs which has a similar photo. to the one of the church I posted, but cannot see the tombstone - maybe just out of range on the left.  Hope so, or it has tumbled down in the past  3 - 4 years which was when the person sent the original one to me.  Unfortunately, they didn't note what was written on it.  Thanks, Ruth

Anyone had opportunity of viewing the tombstone, and ascertaining the details on it?  Anything would be greatly appreciated.  Ruth (in Australia)

Hello  I looked at your list for Caldicott monumental inscriptions but they are not ready yet to view. 
 St Mary's Church is where my 6th X Great Grandfather Edward Smith is buried there Plot A Slab 14 Age 36 well I am looking to get a photo of his Slab Number 14 as I live in Hove East Sussex and would welcome some help with obtaining a photo of this.  I would really appreciate it and would even be willing to pay for it as it would go into my families records.

Kind Regards
Elizlloyd
