I hope you can help.

I'm trying to trace by family history. My search so far has led me to Chepstow and the cemetery. I went there today to see if I could find the grave of Ann Darby and Robert. But no success. Some of the graves have been weathered by time.

Who would have a record of where the graves are? I've Got a general outline of where in the cemetery they might be, area g, but finding the numbers on the burial records now don't correspond with the numbers on the grave.

Would I need to contact somebody in Monmouth council or gwent records to find the actual place or rough estimate where they might be?

Thanks very much

Hi,
Thanks so much for your research, that's very kind of you.

Thanks for all the help.

I went to the gwent records office and they had the old map for the cemetery.

It was on an amazing scroll, very interesting and I was able to make out where the plots might be.

I took photos but I'm not allowed to share them but if you need them pm me and I can send them to you.
