Are they any head stone or anyone buried there with the surname
James? I
have only just started researching my name and I am sure they came from
Carmarthenshire. Well that is what it looks like on the census.

I was reading
last nights evening post and they were reporting on the fact that Babell
Chapel in Carmarthen Road Cwmbwria are going to have their headstones
removed to make way for Swansea housing consortium to build new homes .
Gravestones under 50 years old will be placed on the boundary of the
property and the older ones will be broken up and disposed of within 2
months . There are 800 graves at his site no bodies to be exhumed but
they
promise to TRY to move the gravestones to a memorial garden.
It goes on to say that the John Williams has 4 generations of his family
there all members of the Presbyterian Church of Wales and its predecessor
The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists.
I can Just make out a bit of the info on one of the graves in the photo
Glyn Ivor Johnson, John Charles Johnson Also Mary beloved wife of the
above
