Have you seen her?/Found her completed
« on: Wednesday 11 October 06 15:25 BST (UK) »
Please can anyone help  ??? I am trying to find out where my Great x2 Grandma was buried.
I have her Bapt, all the census and now her death certificate but can not find where she is buried.

Trealaw, Treorchy and Ferndale cemeteries have all been checked. She is not there. Llanwonno Parish church has also been checked. The local newpaper was also check for a report on her death but none was found. I have the following information.

31 October, 1916, Ann Thomas wife of Morgan Thomas aged 83 years (really 87 years) of 8 Railway Terrace, Ynyshir. Informant Brynely Thomas, Grandson, 137 Aberhondda Road.
Does any local know of a small graveyard in Ynyshir?

Thank you.

Hi CU,

Maybe not much help, but this link has info on Ynyshir library  that may be able to give you info on local churches/church burials.

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Ystradyfodwg/Ynyshir/

The only other in the area, other than Pontypridd, I know is Cymmer Chapel, this no longer exists

I have checked the burial index, (scanned it to my comp) that was printed in the local papers in 2004, of names of all the graves they were moving to make way for a new road, but I cannot find her there against date.

This link has most cems listed in the area, (just for info)

Good Luck

Thanks for the information Cas. I am going to try and make a list and work through it. I don't understand why she was not buried at Trealaw, all other  family members are there. She may not have a grave stone but I may be able to find her in the register. Thanks  ;D

I have the Trealaw index, rechecked but could not find her. 

You maybe able to locate on the original registers, Treorchy library have copies of the originals but normally want a burial number to look up.  You could ask based around date to see if they can find her.  Also the internment record could be sent via email.
