Hello, Heulwen Thanks for answering my email. Danygraig did not open until 1856 which the first council cemetery for Swansea. I have been informed by others list members that William Rayner was not buried at St Marys although it was very close to the High Street Swansea where he died on 16/10/1846. Are the parish register of St Johns now St Matthews indexed yet, please? Regards Heather 3751# Hi Heather, Have you tried Swansea City Council Cemeteries Dept.? Possibly buried Danygraig Cemetery.
