Thanks morganllan... I think I may have to send Glamorgan Records Office an e-mail to see if/how they can help.

I've found a picture of a grave at Sion Chapel, Aberdulais, which going by the transcription sounds as if it may contain one set of my great-great grandparents. However, as their names are Daniel and Margaret JONES, I am unsure as to how I would determine whether they are 'mine'.

Any thoughts gratefully accepted - the transcription can be viewed at http://liber-mortuorum.com/aberdulais/sion/index.html#092 - the grave in question is that of William Jones, son of Daniel and Margaret who died 23 May 1882.

The sticking point is this - I know that my ancestors had a son called William, who was 8 on the 1881 census and doesn't feature on the 1891 with his parents (tho of course he may have married or been working elsewhere or both!), but the William referred to on this grave is transcribed as having died aged 3 - am I silly for hoping it actually says 8? Don't know if I am seeing what I want to see on the photo lol

EDIT - After a search of FreeBMD for William Jones dying in Neath in 1882 +/- 1, I've found an 8yr old but no 3yr olds. Obviously I realise he may not have died in Neath but I know that my Welsh lines did not (so far) go wandering all over the country like my English lines did!

Hope this helps

My youngest grandparent was born in 1922 so I won't see her on a census until the 1951 when she was married with 3 children, one of whom is my father!

I may be around to see it though as my grandfathers lived to 85 on my maternal side and 93 on my paternal, and my grandmothers are 92 and 88 respectively
