Hi Scatty, thank you for this information.  Have taken a look at the site you gave and it does have lots of information. Have emailed alan george to enquire about cemeteries in the area - they do not seem to be listed.

It is a wonderful site, which I will enjoy browsing.

Kind regards, Frances

Hello Morgan, thanks for the link.  Have now discovered there are no cemeteries attached to Catholic Churches in Wales.  Burials are usually in municipal cemeteries. Think I am now hopefully "getting nearer" to a result (hopefully) in my quest.
A link for anyone on the same trail is www.caerphilly.gov.uk On this site go to Bereavement Services on home page, the site also has a list of cemeteries.
regards frances . :)

Have now found the burial place of my ancestors, very helpful staff at caerphilly council.
Still hunting for "living" relations though.
