Danygraig Cemetery Swansea
« on: Saturday 08 March 14 13:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help with a grave photo at the above cemetery
Samuel Davies d 1929 age 63 buried 38B with his daughter Mabel died 1885.
I paid for a grave search but it does not indicate if there is a headstone however Samuel died in London was brought back to Wales for burial and his wife's family were stonemasons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'll be going to take some photos for others in 2 weeks time so I'll add this one to my list. Pity you paid for the grave search though - if you'd rung the cemetery supervisor Jason, he would have told you the details for nothing; he's always very helpful.

Hi Richview,

I've been over to the cemetery today and if I've found the correct grave I'm afraid the stone is lying face down and broken to pieces.

I'll ring Jason the Cemetery supervisor on Monday to confirm that I had the right grave, as I couldn't lift any of the pieces to check a name.

I'll let you know.

Thank you so much for checking what a shame it's broken.

Hi,

I've just spoken to Mike over at the cemetery and he tells me that the grave you are looking for is totally unmarked - I was looking at one close to it but not the correct one.

I'm sorry it couldn't be better news for you.
