Hi,
The reading is ei Baban, I am told that this means it is her baby, am I right to think so, as I have read eu is their baby.

Thanks Rachel Fflint.

Rachel Fflint. Thanks

I have just come across a sad piece of work that i need to re shearch for my family history course with aberystwyth university.On the head stone it reads that she is 10 years old and buried with what i think says "her" son Hugh ei baban. it gives her father as Rolant and mother Elizabeth. On Ellin's death certificate dated 5th march 1873, it gives unknown not certified under the cause of death, there is also no mention of the baby Hugh. I have looked on the find my past web site and found the family on the 1871 census it gives Rowland as a farmer and grocer yet on the death certificate for Ellin it says slate quarrier, I wonder if I'm on the right family? I have found an Elizabeth Ellis who married Rowland Roberts in 1856, if anybody can give me any help I would be most grateful.

I applied for Blodwens birth certificate on line using the volume number and page, date and district, it took 14 days for them to tell me there was no one of that name at that time and place. I have just waited another 14 days from Bangor to tell me the same thing about John Hughes, even though I had his date of birth and place, they looked 2 years either side of the date and still no result.
