Hi Elsie,
Thank you very much for sending the address, I shall write off right
away. I do have the burials for St David's but unfortunately they only
cover up to 1935, so very close. The CD also contains some lovely
pictures of St David's, but thank you very much for offering.

Hi Cathy,
Surprising, but I just returned from Wales/England about 2 months ago. My
3X GGF is also buried at St. David's in Rhymney, though much earlier than
your rellie.
You can write to the vicar of the church who will have the burial records at
the following address:
The address is:
The Vicarage
Lawn Terrace
Rhymney
Caerphilly
NP22 5LL
I also took pictures of the church if you're interested

I'm trying to trace the burial of my great grandfather Morgan Rees DEATH
of Rhymney in about 1940/1941, and maybe an obituary. He apparently was
well known in the Rhymney community and well liked, he had during his
life been engaged in sinking mines, a dangerous job and my mother says
he'd had many injuries over the years. He'd later had a strawberry farm
in Abergavenny but this had gone due to family problems. He ended his
days in hospital, a bus trip away, but we don't know where it was, but
his death was registered in Merthyr Tidfyl Mar 1941 (I'm waiting for the
certificate) My grandmother was his eldest daughter but was in London so
could not attend his funeral; following Welsh protocol my mother had to
lead the procession in her place, (she had evacuated with us to Rhymney
for safety) she says that it was a very big turn-out of the men of
Rhymney, and I believe he may have been buried at St David's.
