Hi Pat, As you've already found out, it is not possible to find the grave due to the bombing during ww2 and the almost complete flattening of Swansea. However you can find out the plot number and with a bit of detection work and if the church has a plan of the area when he was burried you may be able to find an apraximate site. Mind you it could be under C&A's, The Quadrant, Cross Keys Pub or even the middle of The dual carraige in front of St Marys ;-( Look on the bright side you also find that he could also have been burried with others whom he was related to that you know nothing of yet ;-) Hope this helps Brian Davies Swansea

St Mary's Church, Swansea was almost completely destroyed in the 3-nights blitz in 1941, and rebuilt in the 1950s. Even very old tombs recorded in older guidebooks were so badly damaged by the heat they could not be restored, so it is fairly unlikely there will be many tombstones - I don't recall seeing any in the fairly small grass area around the church, but there may be some.

Hello,Pat, You will be very fortunate indeed to find your headstone.The churchyard is in the middle of SWANSEA and has been very much reduced by new roads. Good Luck, Tom

Hi Pat I don't know anything of your Parry,s. It is just that your surname is unusual. I have a connection with the Pitt,s. My family were originally from Gloucester. They were in Swansea in the early 1800, When my gr. grandad was born. My grandmother was Mary Anderson Pitt, she was born in 1876 .Do you think tyhat there is a connection.? In all of the censuse's that I have seen my Pitt family were the only Pitt's in Swansea Pat ---- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Pitt" <patpitt@oceania.net> To: <WLS-SWANSEA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 7:00 AM Subject: Re: [Swansea] re PARRY > Brian, I meant to ask the address of St Marys Cemetery, Swansea.

EVAN PARRY was born in Flintshire in 1782 and became a Wesleyan minister working on the Manchester circuit. In 1817 he married SARAH JARRAT in Llanelly. They had two sons JOHN EVAN born 1818 Llanelly, and ROBERT born 1822 in Newtown, Montgomeryshire. Robert emigrated to Australia in 1857. EVAN PARRY retired to Swansea in 1845, where died in 1850. Can anyone tell me where he may have been buried ? Looking for any connections. ---------------------------------- Patricia Pitt NSW patpitt@oceania.net

Hi Denise, Your gran's visitors book sounds fascinating. I dare say she had some famous visitors over the years. If you happen to find it, I'm sure the subscribers of my list would love to hear more details. I am completely ignorant regarding the history of the theatre in Swansea. If you, or any other listers, can provide information that might help with our theatrical research, please let me know.

Hi Dave, My Gran was a theatrical landlady in Swansea & I still have (somewhere) her visitors book (1930's & 40's), there is a copy of it at the archives in County Hall, Swansea.

Hi I am new to this list I was on the Glam list for some time, I am searching for THOMAS OWEN born Llandegley Radnor. He was buried Swansea 2/10/1857 aged 52, he married Jane Griffith in Oystermouth, I have him on 1851 High Street Swansea he was a farmer & currier. He married in 1839 to Jane Griffith, Thomas Owens father was John Owens on cert says gentleman Is there anyone that can do a look up of 1841 or 1851 for John Owens with birth not in Glamorganshire, I can then whittle it down as I have some John Owens in Radnorshire on 1851 and 1841 but would really like to know if John moved South with Thomas. TIA Elaine

hello My husbands grt grandfather Henry hollett and his family moved from Devon to Skinner Street in Sansea in the mid-late 1800. He was recorded as being occupied (tog with his wife Mary and his older boys ) in 1881 as being PATENT FUEL SHIPPER. Would anyone know if there are records kept in Swansea of vessels carrying this cargo? I don't know if they had their own vessel but 2 of the sons (my husbands grandfather being 1 ) became master mariners before they moved to the Garw valley. Diolch yn fawr/Thanks Buddug Hollett.

Hi all Anyone out there saw the Echo last week regarding WILLIAM MEDWELL and the connection to Catherine Zeta JONES? This is the MEDWELL family I am hunting for. If you recognised it, please let me know! Hopefully Maxine ________________________ www.videomajic.demon.co.uk

Hi List Please does anyone have the 1891 census for Swansea, who could look for Thomas WILLIAMS , Wife Mary formerly Hardy, and children, possibly named, Hopkin, Charles, Austin, and either Mary or Elizabeth, in 1897 they were living at 3 Port Tennant Place, St. Thomas, Swansea. Any help would be appreciated Thank you Lynda

Ellen Mary Jane CLEAVER was married to Edward Francis WEST in 1874, they both give their address as Clifton Row, Swansea. I have had no luck finding her birth registration yet (still looking) as the age she gave on her marriage certificate does not tally with subsequent census entries. However, my query is with her father Captain George CLEAVER. Does anyone have a Kelly's or Post Office directory for 1874 for the Swansea area? I would like to know whether he was an army captain or a sea captain or something else, or any information at all. Thank you, Jane
