A bit of a sad footnote - the graveyard of Trinity Church appears to have been sold and the gravestones
moved or relocated
This family's gravestone appears in a list saying :- To be broken up and used for coinstructional purposes or, where appropriate, and if required,
used for paving - Inscription face downwards

The gravestone listed shows the following names :-
Timothy WILLIAMS - 1896
Elizabeth WILLIAMS - 1911
Sarah HAYTER - 1915

The date for Elizabeth seems a bit late bearing in mind her death in 1896 but gravestones are
motoriously difficlut to read sometimes - so pretty sure this is their's
