RE: Message 5: Hi Evelyn, Thanks for responding. William Thomas died Oct. 20, 1955 and his wife, Jane Mary on Aug. 4, 1946. Their son-in-law, Gabriel T. Drakes died Oct. 17, 1975 and his wife, Eluned in 1991. I expect they all are located in the newer section of the cemetery. There is no indication on any of their interment records whether or not a headstone was placed. I guess we won't know until someone goes and looks, an effort I would really appreciate. Take care now...Katie --- On Sat, 5/28/11, glamorgan-request@rootsweb.com <glamorgan-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: > From: glamorgan-request@rootsweb.com <glamorgan-request@rootsweb.com> > Subject: GLAMORGAN Digest, Vol 6, Issue 223 > To: glamorgan@rootsweb.com > Date: Saturday, May 28, 2011, 7:00 AM > > > To request change of Digest Format contact GLAMORGAN-admin@rootsweb.com > and be patient.
