Ddol Terace: A memory of Penmachno

Ddol Terace

A Memory of Penmachno.

Hello. This is not so much a memory as a request. After the war my dad and mum moved to Cwm Penmachno from Liverpool with my younger sister and myself. I was four and a half years old. My dad had a job driving a motor car for a veterinary surgeon by the name of W. O. Jones. We lived at number 3 Ddol Terrace. On 27 April 1951 my mum gave birth to a baby girl who was still-born. My mum and dad named her Christine. This information only came to me about twenty years ago when I started to study family history as a hobby. It has been suggested to me that my sister Christine is buried in Cwm Penmachno cemetery. I can find no record of this through official sources. It has also been suggested to me that a local, retired schoolteacher may have some record of this. Can anybody help, please? Regards.

Hello Stanley, I am a Penmachno born man, living in Blaenau Ffestiniog. I remember the Vet, W.O.Jones, who lived on Dinas Hill, between Penmachno and Betws-y-coed, though I cannot recall your father. There is no cemetery at Cwm Penmachno, but Llan Penmachno has four. All 4 have had their memorials transcribed, by the Gwynedd family HIstory Society, and published. But no mention of any Christine Fletcher in any one of them, sorry.
