There are two Davies stones but neither agree with the details you give. I shall give them here as they may be relevant to other members of your family. The published fiche has a plan of the cemetery with the numbers an d letters of the districts within it marked. However, I am not sure whether they are the same as the ones in the register! They may have been changed over the years or they may have been invented by the recorders if no official plan was to be found. The numbers of the stones are just the order in which the recorders came to them.The stones are: No 1150 (area 6) Willie Davies d 31 October 1862 aged 2 years and 8 months. No 2624 (section 23) Albert Davies, d 1 June 1951 aged 62 years. Geoff Nicholson
