Anyone Know Anglesey Really Well

[rowanwitch]

I am trying to locate a church with a graveyard. It's between Menai bridge and Moelfre, on a hill on the left hand side as yo go north east. I thought it was neat Pentraeth but I could be mistaken. I want to put a few of Dave's ashes on his mum's grave. He pointed it out from a bus and mentioned he'd like to show me one day but we never made it. If Welsh Yorkie puts in an appearance could someone point him in this direction.

Had a quick look Rowan and have as yet found the church in Pentraeth. It is St Marys and is sited at the junction of the A5025 and B5109. Problem is it appears to be on the right rather than the left travelling N/E. Further complications of course being that the bus may not have stuck to the A5025 all the way but gone off piste so to speak when it came to smaller hamlets and villages, or even done loops in the larger villages as does our local bus. Another contender bearing that in mind is St Gredifaels just outside Penymynydd off the B5420. But one that I like the look of if it is not St Marys Pentraeth is St Peters Llanbedregoch which is indeed just off to the left and there is a little detour that the bus may have taken off the A5025 to go into Llanbedregoch itself.

The bu was on the main road, and the church was almost hidden in the trees I would guess about a mile up a hill. I was wondering about St Dyfans LLanygongl but its a bit far out for someone who died while the family lived in Pentraeth. The church might not be in use as she died in 1946 but it looked well cared for from a distance. I think I will have to go out there one day pay a lot of taxi fares and check them all out

Might not be the one you're searching for, rowan, but there appears to be a Church (Hidden among the trees) on the approach to Beaumaris, just past Gallows Point.

[Stephen_G]

Scratch that last comment - there's a high brick wall beside the road and you can't see a thing.

Sorry.

Rowan you can search the Burial Records online to save you the time and expense of looking for the Church. This is one site. Others are available

[rowanwitch]

Didn't help. I know her full name and year of birth but it's not giving me a burial. It also doesn't recognise Anglesey

[albaqwerty]

I'll email him, it's about coffee time at his end! Hopefully Welshy will respond x

Rowan I would suggest two ways of finding the church.

Firstly join a Facebook group for Anglesey Family History and ask if anyone has a list of burials in churches there. Many local history groups have complete lists of local burials.

Secondly join Rootsweb and ask similar on there.

[Barmaid]

If you let me have her details (you know how to contact me) I'll run a search through Ancestry.

Thank you all, I will keep looking, the only family history site is all in Welsh.... I have a feeling I will be getting on the 62 to Amlwch and trying to spot it.

[Barmaid]

doing a google search gives you a map and SOME pictures.

Rowan, I will go that way home tonight and see if I can see any churches in the vicinity. I'm on FB under my given name if you want to inbox me some details.

[Togo]

Haha Rowan we are on the case. I have just been speaking to an old pal I worked with in Bangor who points out that although the current bus route uses the 5025 to go up to Moelfre after, like everywhere else, huge reductions in routes and frequency of buses running this may not have been the case some years ago. He points out that the bus may have gone through Llandegfan or even Beamaris before heading up the Island to Moelfre. The road up to Llandegfan is indeed a steep hill, likewise the road out of Beamaris up to Pentraeth is a fair climb. There are churches and Chapels on both these routes.

[rowanwitch]

I was on the bus less than ten years ago, and I know we were on the 5025 at the time.

[Togo]

That helps Rowan and sort of makes, as far as I can discern, St Peters at Llanbedregoch the one that I would take a guess at.

Thanks Togo, that plus Barmaids investigation gives me a woman whose dates match but buried a long way from where I have been looking..

Llanbadrig I think she was buried away from her family as she had brought shame on them and Dave was told a story about where she really was.

[Togo]

That will then be St Padrigs Church Lanndadrig, Cameas Bay. A breathtakingly beautiful place Rowan.

Llanbadrig…not Lannbadrig.
