Hi Listers,
Many thanks to the many enquiries I've had re health. I am feeling good and
looking forward to the last session of chemotherapy.
I have been reading with interest the enquiries made about the Hapgood
family. I took note of the Hapgood burials that Barrie has listed in Brynmawr
Cemetry and I am looking forward to having one of the CD's once they are
published.
The list of "Hapgood" burials which I have on file at this Cemetry is more
than Barrie has mentioned. I compiled my list several years ago from the old
'Burial register' which was kept
in the ground floor secure room at Brynmawr Library. I noted that sometimes
the deaths had comments written in by the sexton. "Unknown lady found dead by
the White House in the Clydach Valley"
"Drowned when ice cracked under him whilst skating on Heathecote Pond"
Does anyone know where that old ledger might be. I realise it may be "Data
Protected"
but surely a treasured heirloom to the Town Museum. I am puzzled because of
the differences in my records to the present ones.. Cheers Ray Hapgood.
