My 3rd great grandfather David Herbert Philip’s death has proved elusive for over 20 years. He was born illegitimate so sometimes is David Herbert (census returns, childrens births) or David Herbert Philip (marriage certificate.) He was born 30 Jan 1839 and married Catherine Thomas 1860 in Wick, Glamorgan. He worked as an agricultural labourer and they had 2 children- Sarah (1860) and Martha (1863) and according to the 1863 baptism records were living in the union workhouse, Bridgend. On the 1871 census Catherine is a widow living in Cefn Glas, Newcastle, Bridgend and shortly after remarries. I therefore assume David died between 1863-1871 but have never found his death. I have searched for David Herbert/ Herbert Philip/ Philips and any other variation I could think of. I recently read it wasn’t compulsory to register deaths until 1874 but I find it hard to believe his death wasn’t registered somewhere. I know it is a long shot but does anyone have access to the Tabernacle burials for Bridgend to see if he is listed?
Unfortunately I am not local so If anyone is able to help I would be extremely grateful

Does anyone have access to the burial records or monumental inscriptions for Blaenywaun, St Dogmaels?

I have managed to confirm (from a newspaper) that my ancestor John Owens was buried a Blaenywaun on the 3 Dec 1934. So I am now trying to trace if his wife Ann is also there. Ann Owens died 12 Dec 1900.

If anyone is able to help with any information I would be extremely grateful.

I can read some and it says "I giveth to his son Henrie two ?? to be found at the house"

I am probably going to look really stupid when the 2 words are deciphered but I think I've been looking too long and just can't make it out. I think the first word is greate

Any help would be very much appreciated

Somebody once told me my ancestor Harry/Henry Davies was on the 1918 voters list living at 9 Margam Street, Caerau, nr Maesteg, Llangynwydd. However I've since found out the Absent Voters List often gave out their military info next to the name ie regiment number, corps etc.


Does anyone have access to this list and able to confirm if his military details were included by his name?

I am trying to get the details from the marriage of Henry Lambert to Mary Lyth. I believe they married at St Vedast, Foster Lane, London in 1798.

If anyone has access to these records could they please look up the date they married and any addtional information including witnesses and the parish the bride and groom were from.

With Thanks
