Burial lookup for OWEN PRITCHARD and GRACE PRITCHARD, Tregarth please

[jpritchard]

Hi

I'm looking for the grave of my great, great grandfather, Owen Pritchard. He died in an accident in Penrhyn Quarry on 15th September 1885. He was born around 1848. He lived at Craig y Pandy, Tregarth. His wife, Grace Pritchard, lived to beyond 1911 but I don't have any dates of birth or death for her.

If anyone is able to point me in the direction of how to find out about their burials, I would be most grateful. I assume they are buried in Tregarth but I can find no records of the burials.

Thank you

Jo

This one does give details of the service for him but I'm not sure where he was buried. someone with better understanding of Welsh should be able to help.

I've found references to the reverend gentlemen mentioned. Rev. John Jones (Vulcan) and Rev. David Jones (Dewi Mawrth) were both Wesleyan Methodists, but I think the Rev Walters was the curate of Gelli church so it may be worth contacting the church to check

Gelli is in Tregarth.

Thank you very much for your help. I hadn't come across the Welsh article before and I hope to find someone who is willing to translate it for me.

I will contact the church as you suggest.

With many thanks
