wild guess (General)

Hi again Slowhands,

Yes you are correct with your wild guess. After a lot of searching we did eventually find her death registration and we have the death certificate. This is where her age at 41 indicates that she should have been born c1871.

Grandma Mary died in Tirphil, close to New Tredegar, but apart from the main cemeteries at Brithdir and Cefn Golau (where the Council say she isn't),and a deserted and derelict chapel on top of the mountainside there doesn't appear to be anywhere else locally where she could be.

She also had a daughter called Mary Regina who died at the age of 10 in Pembrokeshire around 1920 - why she was in Pembrokeshire we don't know but would suspect that her stepmum sent her away into service.

Many thanks.
Karen
