Find Ancestors

Hi Everyone

I'm hoping someone can please help with a Parish Burial Register record for St Margaret's, Roath, Glamorgan, Wales. The record is for Ruth JAMES born June Q 1869 and died Dec 1913. The death transcript on Find My Past has her burial date as 20 Dec 1913. I contacted Thornhill Bereavement Services in Wales and there is no death/burial record with them and they suggested I try St Margaret's as this is listed as Ruth's parish church.

I would really appreciate help with this and possibly an actual birth date for Ruth as I only have a couple more siblings of Ruth's to find birth/burials for then I'm going to start writing a family history starting with this James branch of my family.

Kind Regards

To get her the actual birthdate you need to buy the birth cert

£9.25 from www.gro.gov.uk. Using the GRO ref

Try contacting the church direct for burial details they may still have the registers or can tell you where they are now held

Thanks for your help Shirley :-)

I tried to find an email address for St Margaret's Church but had not luck...do you have an email address please?

Can't really afford a phone call from New Zealand :-)

Please does anyone know an email address for St Margaret's Church, Roath, Wales or who I might contact for the burial register transcripts?

If you look at the website link that Chris gave you, you should be able to contact Alan Mayer (who maintains the page) and explain your interest and ask for advice as to who to get in touch with for further information.

You could write to the Church

Thanks Chris, patchem and Reggie :-)

Appreciate your help!!!
