Trealaw Look up
« on: Wednesday 13 April 05 23:17 BST (UK) »
Would it be possible for a look up at Trealaw Cemetery for a James Albert Evans who died around 1925 - he was 13 in the 1901 census and lived at 31 Glamorgan Terrace Gilfach Goch.

Thank you.
Lesley

It may be worth your ringing the relevant Rhondda Cynon Taf Council on the following numbers (listed below):

Quoted from Rhondda Cynon Taff Website http://www.rhondda-cynon-taff.gov.uk

"If you have any queries concerning burial or any other cemetery matters please contact your local cemetery on the numbers below.

Telephone:
Taf Cemeteries
01443 402810

Rhondda Cemeteries
01443 772336
 
Cynon Cemeteries
01685 885345/885346"

I am not 100% sure which one is the one to ring but I would bet on the Rhondda Telephone number. They may be in a position to give you more information on a grave number etc before any search is made of the graveyard.

There is also a publication (CD) by the Glamorgan Family History Society available on this cemetery named "Trealaw Cemetery Burial Records 1881- 1990". This CD is an index of people buried at Trealaw Cemetery, Rhondda. The cemetery is also known as Llethyrddu. It is an index of the burial registers and not monumental inscriptions.

The burials are indexed by surname followed by the first name/s, plot number and year of burial. It can be searched on any of the fields and multiple burials in the same grave can be found by searching on the plot number.

The original internment notices are deposited at Treorchy library where they can be consulted and photocopies made. The library will photocopy them for those who are unable to travel to Treorchy, but they do charge a small sum for this service. More information can be found here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wlsglfhs/

I hope this helps
Regards Jen  :)

I've had a quick look at my copy of the Trealaw Index.
There are a few James EVANS - but no James Albert EVANS.

None of the ages & dates match an age close to 37 in 1925.


Did you know that there is a cemetery closer to Gilfach Goch - it's Trane Cemetery in Tonyrefail. Could he be there ?
