Letterston grave

Family History

US visitor Janice told us that she visited Pembrokeshire on the ancestral trail. She said, "This photo shows a small gravestone in Letterston. The child, William, was the first-born son of my great-great-grandparents. An inscription in our family Bible also records William's death and age. We found no other stones from the family so this was special."
