Find Ancestors

I replied here this morning but it's vanished. Hi Susan, that is the correct family . I think the record for George that Chris found is the more likely . Will check with the registry office after the holiday and if it's the same plot number I'll know they are together . Thanks for the help.

An alternative would be to ask advice from Church ministers or staff.
There are some contact details on this website.........

Thanks for the reply . I will have to wait until after the holiday to contact Bridgend library. . I have traced relatives in maesteg cemetery ,but I had a plot number so they could look them up. .I don't have a plot number for Coity.but maybe they can find it.

Maybe the staff at Bridgend library would be able to help with Coity records.
They were most helpful when I wanted information about the Bridgend area.

Have you considered that George might have remarried after his wife's early death? Would he then have still been buried with his 1st wife?
This is still a possibility though. My great grandfather was buried with his 1st wife, although when he died his 2nd wife was still alive.

I haven't been working on my tree for a while . as I kept getting stuck. My ancestors are Richards and Thomas , so you can imagine the problems but I'm having another go. .Is there anywhere online where I can find records of people buried in the same grave . I have traced my great great grandmother .She died on Oct 10 1894 Age 34 . Her name was Margaret Thomas .She died in Oldcastle Bridgend and is buried in Coity St .Mary . According to the family , her husband George and a young daughter Ann,possibly about 8 years old .are in the same grave . . But I cannot find the records for them. I don't have a plot number and can't get to Coity at the moment. I have the wedding certificate .They were married in 1883 which means George was born in 1855.According to the census he was from Swansea. I found a few George Thomas's but not buried in Coity . He possibly died before 1901 as their children are livng with their grandmother on the 1901 census .
