Obituary Translation Welsh to English please......
« on: Wednesday 21 March 18 10:34 GMT (UK) »
I would be most grateful if a Welsh-speaker would be kind enough to assist with this translation -I believe it is an obituary relating to my gt gt grandfather who was born in Llangyfelach and involved with the independent Mynyddbach Chapel.

Just a thought but have you tried to see whether there is an English translation in a newspaper for that obituary.  Many papers on the Welsh newspaper site are available in both languages  :-\

Yes - that’s the site, but the obituary only appears in a Welsh language newspaper unfortunately, no sign of it in the English papers.

Difficult to read the clip, easier to read on the NLW site, in Y Tyst 24th May 1899 page 11.  My Welsh is very limited but I can sometimes get the gist with the help of google translate.
