I hope you don't mind me asking you who you got in touch with regarding the
above. I ask this question because I cannot find out where my gr grandparents
were buried. I think they died approximately in 1903 and 1910, William and
Ann James, Christchurch, Caerleon, Monmouthshire then, Gwent now. I have tried
to get their birth certificates from Newport, but they say they haven't got
them. Then I ordered one and got it wrong.
Going by the 1901 Census, they were living in 35 ? Cottage, Caerleon
Village, Christchurch, Caerleon, Mon. Now I want to find out if they were buried in
the church in Christchurch, Caerleon, they lived in the same area on the 1881
Census.
I had great assistance from the Thornhill Reception Service for Cathays
Cemetery. I sent a request for my grandmother's burial information, they sent
information back to me telling me that a baby six weeks old was buried in 1903
and my grandmother was buried with him in 1918. I was shocked because my
father never mentioned that there was a baby brother who died before he was born,
but then I don't expect he ever knew. They sent me a folder will all the
information copied, and put in a shiny folder with the heading 'Cardiff tracing
your Heritage.' It was a time for tears.
If you could let me know who or how you contacted the Cemeteries Department,
I would be grateful.
