Marriage licence, Llanfrynach, 1834 - Thomas DAVIES to Mary DAVIES

[MarMnkly]

Can't see anything yet for Rees, but will keep nosing !

Useful link while I was browsing to Breconshire MIs http://www.powysfhs.org.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Breconshire_Master_MI_Index.pdf

The sky now seems undecided here...looks brighter down the valley but not looking north, so more rain again I expect

Thanks Mar, love the link, found several of the Davies clan (though not 'my' 1837 Thomas or Mary 1851). Mary's 2nd husband Thomas and his wife Margaret, plus some of their children are there, and the Rees and Mary - and all in the same area if the 'Ref' is anything to go on     

[MarMnkly]

Didn't think about the ref. If it relates to burial plot, does that mean the same number means the same plot and all related??

How did you do that Mar??

It was the 274, 276 and 277 i spotted.... 274 is Rees and Mary, possible parents of Thomas b1774, 276 is Margaret, the 2nd wife of the other Thomas (who had all the money!) and Thomas, though he died in 1886 not '89, and 277 is his son William, wife Ann and a couple of their children (not sure about Margaret, Ann or 'child').

If the ref has any bearing on the plot is it just coincidence that Rees and Mary are alongside the others - or can they be related?  But where are Thomas 1774 - parish clerk for all those years and owner of 10 houses - and his wife Mary

My eyes went a bit crossed... I used 'find' for Llanfrynach and listed them by number, but if the reference is grave, there seemed to be quite a lot in some graves and I always thought there was a limit on how many could go in?
You are right as the MIs do not reflect the ones we know are there, suspect this list isn't complete.

My eyes went a bit crossed... I used 'find' for Llanfrynach and listed them by number...

And then typed them up??? I thought you must know a magic way to extract them from the pdf!! Thanks for all your efforts.

Strange for the possible graves to be so close though.... I guess my Thomas and Mary could be in 275 

[Deirdre784]

Wonder if there's a plot map somewhere, though as you mentioned before, a lot of the older headstones are propped up along the outer walls so may have moved anyway 

[Deirdre784]

PS i thought there was a limit too though i have one plot in Cathays cemetery in Cardiff with 5 known burials. 

[osprey]

think it would depend how deep the grave was to start with which would depend on how many it was bought for. I've transcribed burial records for a  parish in Cornwall where the depth & size of the grave was also noted. Some of them were 10 feet deep, some 8, some 5 (from memory), some single, some double. But not one mentioned six feet deep!
