If you have the original records (you can get Treorchy library to email them to you) then you can see if the plot is con/uncon and then we'll know. I'll give you photos when i can then

I know this is an old post now but always useful to supply information for future reference in my opinion

The sextons house is long gone now and i have tried locating his plot map but no one seems to know where it went. Glyntaf office i find a bit hit or miss. The best resource is Treorchy library in my opinion. Most people, including the library, are using the CD made by the GFHS for searches, this does contain quite alot of errors though!!

I have been doing my own detailed map over the last 6 months and photographing plot by plot, creating a resource of my own.

What needs to be considered is that J23 could be in two places one in consecrated and one in unconsecrated ground, unfortunately the CD does not differentiate! they are however on the original records. There are a John Williams and Edmund Morgan buried in the unconsecrated ground so unless they are related then they must be in the consecrated ground, unfortunately i have not yet mapped this section or photgraphed. The E54 plot can relate to three different graves (unconsecrated, consecrated and PLOT E) i have indexed this one tho and its in PLOT E which is near the back left, confusingly someone has placed a later grave marker at this plot with two people, i have to therefore assume these are related to you. David John Jones and Catherine Ann Jones (i have image if you want)

Hope this helps, if my reply is still relevant.

Is anyone able to lookup a baptism for a Mary Lewis born c.1855 Carmarthen Town, perhaps in St Peter? Her father was Daniel Lewis 1826-1903 and he came from Newchurch area. She moved to Ferndale, Glamorgan in about 1871 as she is there on the census until her death in 1907 (she married Thomas Syms) I can't find her in 1861 with Daniel, and infact can't find a definite Daniel in 1861 either

Many thanks

I am looking for possible information for Frederick Syms who was born in Ferndale 8/2/1878 and married Mary Hannah Harris. He died on 26/9/1904 in Ferndale and i have lots of information on him and his family.

What i am looking for is information on his running "career" and whether anyone can indentify anything to do with the attached photos. In the photos he is seen with his trainer, Fred is the one standing. In the later photo he is shown having won a cup. Would there be details about this in local papers of the time? Anything would help

Thanks

David
