Hello Wales Listers
I have sent this to the Anglesey List as well.
Just wondering if someone might be able to confirm my Welsh-English
translation. It's an inscription from a gravestone.
Here it is in Welsh:
Er serchog gof am Mary PARRY
Priod William M PARRY
Yr hon a hunodd yn yr Iesu, dydd
Marcher Mawrth 28 1883
Yn 58 mlwydd oed
Hefyd yr uchod
William M PARRY
Honodd chwefr or 20, 1909
Yn 90 mlwydd oed
OK. And here is what I have roughly translated it to:
In affectionate memory of Mary PARRY
Wife of William M PARRY
Who fell asleep....
March 28th 1883
Aged 58 years old
Also... the above
William M PARRY
..... February 20th 1909
Aged 90 years old
A bit patchy I know! Please, please correct me if I am wrong, or if I have
missed anything really important! I have translated the above with the help
of some web pages with "graveyard Welsh" advice.
Thank you for reading.
Best wishes

Merry Christmas!
