Jeff,
Thanks for the info, I did find the Church on Google and was able to find
some pictures of the Church and the Cemetery.
Thanks again.

Cockett is a suburb of Swansea. St. Peter's Church (Church in
Wales) was
originally opened as a 'Chapel of Ease' to cater for the parts of Swansea
parish further north-west from the centre, then mainly Welsh-speaking. It
is
now a parish in its own right, I think.
If you search in Google maps for Glasfryn Close, Swansea and scroll north
you will see St Peter's Church and the large graveyard extending behind
it.
Burial in Cockett rather than in the municipal cemetery at Danygraig may
indicate some family affinity to that area (e.g. family members buried
there), affinity to the established Church of England (as it then was) or
may have been for some more mundane reason.
SA1 3UH seems to be the postcode for the part of Oystermouth Road that was
Trafalgar Terrace. The Church nearby on Oystermouth Road is Christchurch,
which would have been only yards from Trafalgar Terrace. It has no
graveyard.
