I've had a reply from Merthyr Tydfil CBC but unfortunately they do not have a record of either a marriage for John Thomas to Maria Evans or a Maria Thomas death. However they suggested I contact both Rhondda Cynon Taf and Caerphilly as these areas include some Merthyr registrations.
RCT have replied that they have no marriage record, and the Maria Thomas death they have is for a child, so not 'my' Maria.
Not so sure of the likelihood of these records though as both areas are further from Brecon, but will see what Caerphilly find (if anything). If no marriage is found I will contact the GRO with the reference details, and provide what I know, and see where that gets me.
