Notes
General:
For a start, I recently got a death cert. for my great-great-grandfather James Gwatkin (born Bryngwyn abt 1787, died Goytrey woods 1857). He was found dead in the woods (there's an article in the Monmouthshire Merlin) and there was an inquest with the outcome 'found dead'. And, though the Goytrey burial records say he was buried December 22 1857, he actually died February 1, 1857. I'd love to know what happened to his body between Feb. and Dec. -- but perhaps he was buried and then reburied. His family was living in Kemeys Commander at the time of the 1851 census, so perhaps his widow moved his body back to Goytrey when she moved back to Goytrey herself sometime after his death. (She moved in with son William and family, and was with them by the time of the next census.)
