My gg grandparents moved to the Abertillery area sometime between 1891 and 1901. My great grandparents were married in the English Baptist Chapel, Abertillery in 1907 and by the 1940s lived in Six Bells.
What I would like to discover is where any members of the family would have been buried. I have checked the records for St Illtyd's, Llanhilleth and St Peter's Church, Aberystruth-Blaina. There are lots of burials for Abertillery and Six Bells but no Assenders/Assinders.
Would the English Baptist Chapel have had a cemetry? I can't find a chapel of that name in existence now.
I am hoping to get to the County Record Office but I would like to hopefully find out what to ask for before I do.
Thanks in advance
Debbie

Hi Debbie
The only baptist chapel in Abertillery with a grave yard
is Blaenau Gwent baptist.
Details of the records available are on the following link
to Tredegar library family history centre
I do not know if the gwent records office and Newport library hold the same.

Thanks for your help Rhys. I'm looking for people in the Newport area as well, so that may be a good place to start. I get confused with all the different unitary authorities in this area and who's got what!

Thanks Ann,
My Dad must have been born in that house in 1942! My great gran was also still living there when she died in the 70s.
I have a death cert for my Nan's twin sister Nancy in 1918 and the address is given as '27 Harold Street'- Nancy died at the Gwent, Newport age 3.
So the family must have lived in the same house for a long time and Rose must be a relative of mine. Could be another of my Nan's sisters as my great gran would have been about 45 then.
I'm really wondering what happened to everyone else now!
Thanks again Ann, you've been a great help 
Debbie

I know what you mean 
From what I've read the child mortality rate in the Abertillery area from late C19th to early C20th was horrendous. My Nan's twin died age 3 from what looks like complications of influenza/pneumonia. They simply couldn't afford a doctor. I only found out her name when I went to the FRC. I stood there trying not to cry when I found her in the index.
This is giving me a horrible picture of my great gran's life. Rose must have been her daughter. I found her birth and it's the correct mother's maiden name. As far as my Dad knew the youngest child was born in 1928.
