« on: Monday 15 May 06 14:57 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone,I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to translate a 1887 death card notice which is all in welsh for me.I have tried looking through a welsh to english on line dictionary but alot of the words are not there.I have the card scanned so could send it down line to anyone who is able to help.Thank you for your time,kind regards Kath

ps did not realise that I could attatch an image but have done so.

The bit on the right translates to:

In the scared memory of
Catherine Thomas
Dearest bride of Hugh Thomas
Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
(She) who died 17th October 1887
48 Years Old
And buried in Llanfair's Cemetary October 20th
[/b]

I'll have a go at the dedication in a minute.  :)

Ok, now for the dedication on the left. I may well have some of this wrong, so please forgive me. Perhaps somebody else can correct this for you.  ;)

Farewell, my husband and dearest children,
Along came death to collect me
To lay a path for the unfamiliar (land)
So that I will not be looking back
