Penyrheol Cemetery Caerphilly

[Kettkat]

Hi,
Does anyone have a layout plan of Penyrheol Cemetery Caerphilly.

I was unable to find one when I visited the Chapel, I now have another three more to find.

I have the section and plot numbers of all four graves.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Did all Chapels have cemeteries?

Not sure they did, as being 'non-conformist' many would have been interned in the Parish plot of the conformist church. In the small town where I lived in south Wales some years ago there there must have been at least eight Chapels none of which had their own graveyard.

Hi Cheryl

Is this of any use to you?

It might confirm whether there are any headstones for your lot.

For a map, you could contact Caerphlly council:

Graham, it looks like the chapel is in the cemetery:

After the event I would suggest. Lots of public cemeteries have non denominational chapels in them. I wonder if this one fell into disuse and was taken over by this particular church group?

I forgot to say welcome to Rootschat, Cheryl!

Hi Rootschat,

Eventually worked out how to post a reply

The Chapel is in the cemetery and there is also a section plan on the notice board.
I emailed Caerphilly Berevement Services who have given me a contact name who may be able to help me locate the graves.
A friend in the Netherlands wants a photograph of his relatives grave, a father and son who were both killed in the Senghenydd Explosion in 1913, this year is the centenery of the disaster.

Best wishes Cheryl

Hope you find it and yes, that mine explosion was such a terrible event.

Hello RootsChat,

Can anyone help me with the following:

Is anyone familiar with Glyntaff Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Pontypridd.

I have ancestors buried there in section H plot numbers 36, 37 and 38.

I would very much like to know if any headstones still exist are on these graves.

Your help would be much appreciated
