Western mail death announcements

The Western Mail was a Welsh newspaper that was published from 1869 to 1968. During its run, it published death announcements, also known as obituaries or death notices, for individuals who had passed away in Wales and beyond. These announcements typically included the person's name, age, residence, and a brief description of their life and accomplishments.

Here are a few examples of death announcements that appeared in the Western Mail:

1. "On the 12th inst., at his residence, 14, Castle-street, Cardiff, Mr. John Jones, aged 65, late of the firm of Jones and Co., drapers, Cardiff, and a member of the Cardiff Corporation."
2. "At his residence, 5, Park-place, Swansea, on the 15th inst., Mr. Thomas Williams, aged 70, late of the firm of Williams and Co., ironmongers, Swansea, and a member of the Swansea Corporation."
3. "On the 18th inst., at his residence, 1, Castle-street, Merthyr, Mr. David Evans, aged 55, late of the firm of Evans and Co., ironmasters, Merthyr, and a member of the Merthyr Corporation."
4. "At her residence, 2, Park-place, Cardiff, on the 20th inst., Mrs. Mary Ann Jones, aged 60, relict of the late Mr. John Jones, of Cardiff, and mother of Mr. John Jones, jun., of the firm of Jones and Co., drapers, Cardiff."
5. "On the 22nd inst., at his residence, 3, Castle-street, Swansea, Mr. William Williams, aged 50, late of the firm of Williams and Co., shipowners, Swansea, and a member of the Swansea Harbour Trust."

These are just a few examples of the many death announcements that appeared in the Western Mail over the years. The newspaper was an important source of information for the people of Wales, and its death announcements provided a way for families and friends to share news of the passing of loved ones with the wider community.
