G'Day "The Orge" and Dai,
Dai,
The information you sent confirms this is the correct Family I was a bit
worried at first about her age at Death being quoted as 80 years.
Her birth date as per Birth Certificate was 22 Aug 1862.(b.Green Fach,
Peterston-super-Ely), thus she was 90 years of age, when she passed
away.
Thank you for the GRO reference, will now apply for Death Certificate to
ascertain the informant name and address.
The Orge,
Also many thanks for MI's for St.Peters, excellent information.
Naturally my eyes lit up when the name PETERSTON-super-ELY came up.
Would it be practical to amend Catherine death age from 80 to 90
years.(on the MI's written comments).
It appears correct on the grave stone.
If you require any research done in New South Wales, you are welcome.
Once again many thanks,
Regards,
Allan
Many thanks to the ORGE for doing this, I think you have helped me
locate the resting place of my Great Grand Father Job RODERICK's sister
Catherine HOWELL and her husband William HOWELL.
Her brother Job and his wife Mary, another brother RODERICK RODERICK are
all with their parents John and Margaret RODERICK buried just across
the Ely river at the Baptist Chapel "Croes-y- Parc".
To help verify is it possible for some kind person to check the details
on the 1891 Census for Wales, for the following family, ( if possible an
image would be appreciated)
HOWELL, William, Head b. Glam Cardiff age abt 39 years
HOWELL, Catherine wife b. Glam Peterston age abt 28 years
HOWELL, David, Son b. Glam Peterston or Glam Cardiff age abt 2 years.
Also is it possible to advise the GRO Death Reference for,
HOWELL, Catherine, who died 26 December 1952, age 80 or 90 years, Buried
at St.Peters, PETERSTON-super-ELY.
Many thanks,
Allan RODERICK

Mary,
For display, rather than using a software program, I'd look into the
world of scrapbooking. Although it's a craft now of the wider
community, it has very strong ties with genealogy. When looking at
paper or pages, the standard is 12" x 12"

Lander Elvin COMLEY is my 2nd cousin once removed: his great grandfather is
my gg grandfather. Lander took Holy Orders after his first wife and child
died in 1922. He was Vicar of Walsgrave, Coventry.
His grandfather James COMLEY wrote the tune "Malmesbury Abbey" (Hymns A & M
No.44). I have a copy of a book which James published in 1857 - "A Narrative
of some of the Lord's Dealings with James Comley, many years a professed
infidel, but now a disciple of Christ", He was a very troubled man and died,
deserted by his family, in Cheltenham on 8 Jun 1901 (he just made the
census)
