Thomas Hill is my 3rd great grandfather, he was buried on 25 Nov 1905 in the Whitchurch area of Cardiff.. I just don't know where exactly.... Much help would be appreciated..

I would ring Cardiff Council and ask for the cemeteries department and see if they can help you.

Not sure but is the Parish Church St.Mary's in Whitchurch?

Although an old thread it may be worth checking this link, the member Ann of Green Gable is a name I remember from GR

That is possibly the person I am looking for but I do not know what cemetery he was buried. I have checked the link before but I am unable to post to it..

St Mary's is the parish church here in Whitchurch - I have the parish records but unfortunately have lent them to a fellow GR member - have asked him to do a look up but not heard back yet!!!!

THANKS ALL FOR THE HELP!
I much appreciate it! This is the right guy you all are talking about, he died in the Infirmary and was born 1838 so would have made him 67 in 1905.

Does the records say the section or grave number?
