Many thanks Slowhands - I'm an Englishwoman (from just outside London yuk)now living near Caerphilly.

I'm trying to help a good friend of mine with her family research - she lives in Doncaster and is unable to get to Wales, but she is desperately trying to find the burial location for her Grandma Mary Regina, and that's how this has all started. We've tried approaching this from all angles, and keep coming up against brick walls.

We know where she died in Wales and where her children were born, but do you think we can find where she's buried, can we heck as like (a good Yorkshire saying I've picked up there ha ha), and because Grandma died in 1912 long before her granddaughter was even a twinkle in her dad's eye she's finding it very frustrating. We have approached both the Gwent and Caerphilly Councils, who say that Grandma's burial isn't registered with them, so its down to searching in the local parish records, which is proving another impossible task.

Many thanks for your help though - its given us a bit more info that we didn't have before.

Best regards,
Karen
