Subject: Re: [WLS-GLAM-BRITONFERRY] Ynysmaerdy Cemetery
This morning I contacted the cemeteries department at Neath borough
council. The plans of the cemetery (Ynysymaerdy, that is) are too large to
be photocopied but I have been given permission to photograph said plans.
They are held in Swansea (?) so I will try to get there on Monday or
Tuesday. Regarding Giants Grave, it is a much smaller graveyard. I can
photograph the graves there, maybe over the weekend. As Emma said, the
knotweed will soon be taking over the place!
all the best, Annie

Hi all, As I have ancestors from the Giants Grave and Briton Ferry area I
have been watching with interest the Ynysmaerdy Cemetery comments. As I
live
in Canada I do not have the access that I would like on the cemeteries
that
have been indexed or transcribed.
Could someone let me know where I can the different cemetery information
from in particular Giants Grave.
Thank you, Les Parsons, Vernon BC Canada
