"In the Parish of St Pauls in or near the Town of Llanelly in the County of Glamorgan" is where the February 1889 attestation of Walter Williams RA (Royal Artillery) 71052 aged 20 year 1 month says he was born (in December 1869 if his age is correct).

https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbm%2fwo97%2f4179%2f333728But I can't find any Parish of St Pauls in or near the Town of Llanelly in the County of Glamorgan.
So I'm looking for a village/town/place named Llanelli/Llanelly with a nearby church/parish of St Pauls in Glamorganshire or neighbouring counties.
I'm fairly certain that this is actually either Llanelly Monmouthshire or Llanelli Carmarthenshire since there doesn't appear to be any Llanelly in Glamorganshire.
I've attached a cropped screenshot of places in Wales starting 'Llanell...'according to GENUKI - Llanelli/Llanelly in Carmarthenshire, Llanelly/Llanelly Hill in Breconshire, Llanellen in Monmouthshire,and Llanelltyd way up north in Merionethshire (see attached screenshot)
I've also attached three combined screenshots from GENUKI maps to show the boundaries of Carms, Glams and Brecs.
The Church in Wales site (Anglican) shows only two current St Pauls parishes: Grangetown St Paul ( Cardiff, Glamorganshire

http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/structure/places/parishes/?id=844 )
As far as I can tell there's no parish of St Pauls near Llanelly Monmouthshire, not even a church of St Paul
http://www.genuki.org.uk/church_list/BRELlanelliNo parish of St Pauls in Llanelli Carmarthenshire, but there is (was?) a church of St Paul in the town centre
