I would ring Cardiff Council and ask for the cemeteries department and see if they can help you.

Not sure but is the Parish Church St.Mary's in Whitchurch?

Although an old thread it may be worth checking this link, the member Ann of Green Gable is a name I remember from GR

St Mary's is the parish church here in Whitchurch - I have the parish records but unfortunately have lent them to a fellow GR member - have asked him to do a look up but not heard back yet!!!!

THANKS ALL FOR THE HELP!
I much appreciate it! This is the right guy you all are talking about, he died in the Infirmary and was born 1838 so would have made him 67 in 1905.

Does the records say the section or grave number?
