Hi,

St John's Church, Pontyberem

If you've got a death date do contact Gwynedd Family History Society (FHS). FHSs are a valuable resource, usually manned by volounteers who know their area.

Hello
Pontyberem is in Carmarthenshire and the Church is St John's! See the entry in Genuki:

Dyfedfhs have MIs for Caersalem Chapel in Pontyberem but don't seem to have the Church MIs.
Kind Regards
Morgan
