I have ancestors buried in Danycraig cemetery, Swansea. Plot numbers 919B, Thomas family and 921B Davies family.
The Thomas grave has an inscription for Thomas Thomas 1874-1894 who drowned in San francisco harbor, so the 1st question is, would he have to be buried there for him to have an inscription on the grave stone.
The Davies grave has an inscription for Mary E Davies died aged 6 months, I am unable to find a death certificate for her so my 2nd question is, would the burial records give me information as to when she died and when she was buried.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best wishes for the new year, Marilyn

I have a gg-grandfather, on the family headstone, who was lost at sea.
