Pembrokeshire / Abercastle, Mathry, Pembrokeshire. Cemetery?
« on: Wednesday 29 March 17 21:48 BST (UK)  »
My Gt Gt Grandfather died in Abercastle on the Pembrokeshire coast near Mathry. Is there anyone in that area who could tell me where the cemetery for that hamlet is located. I know there is gravestone and it overlooks the sea but have no further information. Also is there or was there a church or chapel in Abercastle.
Thanks.

Cardiganshire / Davies/ Aberarth area. Request for help re gravestone.
« on: Saturday 15 February 14 20:24 GMT (UK)  »
I have found an old photo of my great grandparents gravestone but even when I expand the photo the smaller writing is blurred. I think the grave is in a chapel cemetery in the Aberarth area. I thought it worth asking if anyone is familiar with cemeteries in the area and could identify the grave and tell me what the wording is. I would be eternally grateful! (I am OK with translating the Welsh -I am doing classes at the moment). I am attaching the photo. Many thanks.

The Common Room / Missing birth record.
« on: Thursday 11 July 13 18:46 BST (UK)  »
Just wondering if anyone has any advice.
My father in law, born in 1914 and deceased in 2000 only ever had a 'short' birth certificate. We would like to obtain the full certificate to help with researching that side of the family but there is no record of his birth on GRO index or on Ancestry (to which I subscribe). Has anyone got any suggestions ? Is the GRO index online always accurate?
Maybe he was adopted and if so does anyone know how to go about getting an adoption certificate. The curious thing is that  when I put in a search on Genes-reunited website  they appear to have a birth record but I would have to pay to see it and am suspicious as to why they would have a copy and not the official source. Does anyone use that website and is it reliable -if so I suppose I could subscribe for a month just to see what they have.
Any help or advice gratefully received!

Caernarvonshire / Cemeteries in Llanllyfni area
« on: Tuesday 11 December 12 16:46 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone could tell me which of the chapels or former chapels in the Llanllyfni, Nebo/Nazareth area have graves. I am looking for family gravestones and am compiling a list of chapels to visit. Also where would a chapel member be buried if their chapel didn't have a graveyard. Any help most gratefully received!.

Wales / Roberts of Nebo, Llanllyfni
« on: Saturday 12 November 11 23:31 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching my grandfathers family.
He was Richard Roberts (1884-1952) son of Hanah born about 1855 (Birth name ? Jones).
On the 1901 census the family were living at Pantygwyn, Nebo near Llanllyfni. Hanah was a widow living with her 4 sons and 1 daughter. I would like to go back to the previous generation of Roberts' but am struggling to identify the family with certainty on census records prior to 1901.
Can't find anything for 1991 but have a Robert and Hanah on the 1881 census living at Tirion Pelyn with 3 older children which appear to fit. If so Richard Roberts' father was Robert Roberts born about 1853 in Llanllyfni. If anyone out there can contribute to this family line I would be grateful.
