The East Glamorgan district covered a large area, but not the main conurbations like Merthyr and Pontypridd.  Have found the 1942 phone book - Glamorgan County Council entry lists registrars for East Glamorgan in Cardiff, Whitchurch, Penarth and Hengoed. the latter seems the most likely for Gelligaer - address is J Morris, LPO buildings
