Subject: [GLA] A burial in Aberavon ... information please.
Dear Listers,
A bright lightbulb went off in my head after I sent my most recent posting
to the list. This bit of information reminded me of a letter that I
received in 1982: Daniel NIGHEN died age 70 June 1871 ... Neath, Volume
11a, page 416
The information above regarding the death of Daniel NIGHEN, who I believe
is my gg-grandfather, came from the Free BMD site. The information below
is from the 1982 letter:
The letter came from the Rev, S.K. Prior of 77 Victoria Road Aberavon,
Port Talbot ... is that St. Mary's Church address? The Rev. Prior informed
me that the church records show a Daniel NIGHEN was buried in Aberavon on
June 8, 1871, at 18 years of age. D.J. Jones was the officiating
minister, as were Thos. L. Davies the Curate, and D. Parker Morgan the
Vicar at the time.
OK! Questions:
What is the name of the church at that address?
Is there a stone for Daniel NIGHEN at that site?
Are there two Daniels, one age 18 and the other age 70, who died at the
same time?
If Daniel was buried by D.J. Jones, officiating minister, what faith did
he practice? (All the NIHENs are/were Catholic, at least to begin.)
Ah, picking up threads, even those 24 years old, can be an interesting
exercise.
My thanks to all,
