Hello liverpool lass,

Hope this helps,some of the spelling was wayward but not unusual for gravestones in any language!I believe this translation correct but welcome any other variations!!

IN FONDEST MEMORY OF...
-------------
FROM THIS PARISH
PASSED AWAY OCTOBER 12,1917
ALSO-------HIS WIFE
PASSED AWAY MARCH 23,1939
REMEMBERANCE OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS SPLENDID?
[not sure that splendid is the right translation]

JUNE[the month]

FONDEST WIFE[judging by the vocabulary it,s feminine rather than male,uncertain as the spelling is not right]

ALSO BROTHER OF THE ABOVE

AND THEIR MOTHER

ALSO ROY EUBANAN[unusual surname?-not a Welsh word or surname to my knowledge]

Regards,brawd houdini

[Garethboxing]

Hefyd Roy Eubaban should be Roy Eu Baban

Also Roy, their baby

    Gareth

[brawd houdini]

Hello Garethboxing,

Thanks for the add-on,it had got me totally foxed yet it;s so obvious!!!!Sometimes no matter how long you look at something it just does'nt make sense.


Cool picture- you must be proud.

Hwyl,brawd houdini

[liverpool lass]

Thank you both! I have some digging to do! I think I have got one of the relationships totally wrong as the man apears to have a sister and wife of the same christian name born the same year!!! Whoops!

[pinot]

BENDIGEDIG is perhaps better translated BLESSED; more importantly, A'I MAM should mean HER MOTHER and nothing else, which might resolve the sister/wife conflict.
                Best of luck, Lass,
                        Pinot

[liverpool lass]

Thanks Pinot. I think I have found the marriage between these two so 'her mother' would be right.

This is a good Welsh to English translator if there are no spelling errors, also the months in Welsh
