Hi ugo,

This is the link for all cemeteries in Glamorgan.  Maesteg would come under Bridgend I think...

Hello ugo  :)

As you know the date of death and address, you could try to get hold of a newspaper obituary. Maesteg library have a newspaper archive and may be able to provide a copy for a small fee.

I recently found an obituary for my Great Grandmother which confirmed my suspicions about her burial place, so it is worth a shot.

Best Wishes
Morgan

Thank you Morgan and Romilly for your help.

I wish I could pop in to Maesteg Library that would solve a few questions I have, I live in in Essex its a long way.

Kind regards Joan
