thanks,is there another graveyard at Llanllyfni?

Hi
There are a number of graveyards in Llanllyfni.'Keith' has detailed these; don't remember the topic, and don't have time to look it up. You should be able to find the topic under Caernarvonshire using 'search'.

Hello There.
I have an interest in the property you mention "Gwyndy" and as you have a family connection historically I wondered whether you may have any old photographs relating to the property or locality from the periods you mention.
Obviously the building itself is of interest locally having recently been listed as Grade 2 due it having been the tollhouse on the turnpike and being one of the oldest buildings in the village.
Would be very interested to see any old photographs if you have anything available and didn't mind sharing
Many thanks
Jon

I have had a look for the burial of some of your family. Annie Francis Jones and John Joseph Jones are buried at Macpelah. I don't think there is an MI booklet for this cemetery. I am not aware of a plan which exists either. These entries are on yffor.com website. The register includes location reference numbers of individual gravestones. The back of many of these stones are marked with the location reference. You may be able to find your locations by visiting Macpelah and finding a reference close to the one you are looking. At worse a near reference number will give an approximate location.
Hugh Thomas is buried at St Rhedyw Llanllyfni. I assume GFHS society should have a location plan - assuming of course that there is a gravestone.
Hope this helps.
