Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Danygraig Cemetery, Port Tennant

Hugely grateful to you for trying. I thought there may not be headstones, but I thought there might be a marker or something. But no problem. Thank you so much for trying. I'm truly grateful. x

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Danygraig Cemetery, Port Tennant
« on: Monday 18 March 24 10:11 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if there's anyone who might be kind enough to photograph three graves for me in this cemetery if they happen to be up that way? One grave may have a headstone, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there's none on any of the three graves. But even just a photo of the plot with some background in it (so we can identify it if we visit) would be really nice to have.

Plot 4 O (containing Ellen Foley, Michael Foley, Rose McCarthy and Mary Agnes McCarthy)
Plot 24 O (containing Anistatia McCarthy and two unknown infants)
Plot 275S (containing Robert McCarthy and two unknown adults)

I can't tell you how appreciative I would be if someone is able to do this for me.

Yes, I'm told Susannah had 13 children in total, so I'd say Mary was one of those three lost.

Just to let you know, I didn't need to get Edith's birth certificate after all, I only needed to put it on the Pontlottyn Facebook page! I've been inundated with messages from relatives of Edith and her siblings and yes, this is definitely the Edith I'm looking for, daughter of James and Susannah Sullivan. James was the son of John and Honora Sullivan. John, an Irishman, went over to Wales during the Great Famine and settled there. Everything you gave me matched up, including the addresses, the step-siblings, etc. The only thing is James and Susannah's children, which have been confirmed as James, Norah, Eugene, Rachel, Edith May, Terence, Susannah, Patricia, Dennis and Brian. Several of those didn't appear on FreeBMD. Dennis is still alive and he'll be 90 next year. I'm in touch with his son. You can imagine in a family of ten children how many people there are in the family tree! Thanks for your help.

Blimey, that is astonishing! Amazing stuff! Thank you so much. Now I just have to make the connection by getting her birth cert and finding her mother's name. This is brilliant! Thank you so much.

Brilliant. I'll keep a note of all of that. I do wish my ancestors had unique names! I mean, Sullivan in Pontlottyn! Almost as hard to track down as Jones. Thanks so much for the pointers. On her 1953 marriage certificate Edith gives her father's occupation as coal miner. I'll get access to the 1939 census with a 14-day free trial, but I think someone here mentioned that that James Sullivan wasn't a coal miner on that census. Anyway, it may all come clear...

Lovely, thanks. Yes, I'd seen that and wondered the same thing. I think I need to get that probably birth certificate for Edith and find the mother's name and then take it from there. Hopefully it will be Price and I'll be on the right road. Thanks so much!

I think I'll go for a 14-day free trial. Many thanks for all the help.

Many thanks for that. Edith was married in May 1953 in St Pancras, London. The witnesses were two people who were living at the same address as her and her husband. 

The "Year 1954 there is a Edith M, T Sullivan (freeBMD 1928- male mmn Price) & R Sullivan (freebmd 1924 - female mmn Price) with James & Susannah Sullivan" comment is interesting as I've been unable to find her in London with her husband in 1954. Can you somehow send me a link to that information?

Thank you for all your help!
