Glamorganshire / Re: Shipwreck - Margam Sands

Wow - thanks for the quick response! 
My grandmother used to tell me that he had died at sea and I found out (not that long ago) from the local paper BMD section (Greenock Telegraph) that it had been on the Amazon wreck of 1908.  Most of the older generation in my family are dead now, so I just wondered what had happened to him.  Perhaps there will be a report of the wreck in the local paper, as I'm sure there were other Greenock men on board.  Will check that out next.
Once again, many thanks for the information.

My great-grandfather died in the wreck of the barque SS Amazon in 1908 off Port Talbot (Margam Sands).  Does anyone have information about where the bodies were buried?
Thanks.

Hi
There's a great site at the National Library of Scotland which has many old maps etc - http://www.nls.uk/maps/towns/index.html
Or try - www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk - for a selection of old maps to buy.
Hope this helps.
Liz
