WILLIAM THOMAS DAVIES WW1 1921.
« on: Saturday 15 October 22 17:00 BST (UK) »
WILLIAM  THOMAS  DAVIES died on 17 Aug 1921 after war service with the Welch Regiment. He was the son of William Henry and Susan Davies and the husband of Mary Jane Davies. His service records indicate that he lived at 7 Midland Terrace , Morriston and died at 39 Sway Road, Morriston. I suspect - but cannot be sure - that Morriston Terrace was his parents'address and Sway Road was where he lived with his wife.
Can anyone help me to find out where William Thomas Davies was buried/

If you are looking for it in the 1921 census, that stretch of Sway Road (after number 36) seems to go by the name of Clydagh Road.

Age at death recorded as 29, so born 1891-2.

Morriston Cemetery was started in 1919 I think and is the city's main non church/ chapel cemetery. Telephone 01792 636000 (I think) and ask for the cemetery department...
