Hi, If at all possible could someone translate this for me please. It is the obituary for my gt gt gt grandfather. My limited welsh thinks that it says something along the lines of he was very sad at his neice dying and that he was a good member of the church and worked his whole life as a quarryman, but its a little confusing at times for my limited welsh... any help would be great - thankyou to anyone willing to take the time to help me.

Dear soozieg,

It is with regret that we record the sudden and unexpected departure of the kind old brother William Kerfoot, Pengelli.  Last week he became unwell at his daughter and son in law's home a few hours after his grand-daughter's funeral.  No doubt that this sad bereavement weighed heavily on his mind.  He and his lamented wife had dearly reared her and always looked upon her as their dearest child.  The rush of sympathy from within the area towards his widow and the rest of the family in both of their near and unexpected bereavements, will by now be forthcoming.  The old brother had suffered a week of hard and heavy affliction as he had a painful ailment on his liver as his spirit flew quietly away at half past three o'clock.  He was a character and highly thought of by his colleagues, and he had spent most of his life among the quarrymen of this district he had worked for years in "Votty & Bowydd(??)" .  He was a faithful member of the Tabernacle Church and had an interest in each service at the Church.   By today he can enjoy the fellowship up above where no-one is dissenting or ailing within the walls.  Our deepest and utmost sympathy are conveyed to his wife, children and Mrs Pugh who looked after him.  The family feel obliged to Dr Jones and nurse Jones.  Burial at Bethesda on Thursday.
                                                                                                "Y Glorian" - 20th April 1912 

I am not saying that the above is 100% correct but is somewhere near (hopefully!!!!)

Hope it is of some help,
Regards, Alltcafan

In case you don't know, Fotty & Bowydd are quarries in Blaenau Ffestiniog; a Google search will give you photos.
