Hello--
Is there a more detailed listing of monumental
inscriptions for the cemetery at Jerusalem, Burry Port?
I found the index. There was a William Thomas
who died 12 January 1888 at age 40--trying to find
out more on him. Where did he live?
Thanks.

Have you looked for him on the 1881 census which is free at Family search. Unless you have more info about him there are quite a number with that name and birthyear

1871 also free here

To establish his address at the time of his death - you would need to buy a copy of his death cert. It would also tell you who reported the death which may help determine if it's the right person. However - anybody could report a death so it may not have been a family member

Burry Port falls within the Llanelly Registration District. Probable death registration
William Thomas, age 40, Mar Qtr 1888, Llanelly, 11a 557
The index I checked describes him as "husband"
-
Carmarthenshire Master Burials Index
Date - 12 Jan 1888
Name - William Thomas,
Abode - Park y Mina Street,
Age - 40,
Parish - Pembrey, Jerusalem Chapel
-
"Park y Mina" is a transcription - I don't have acccess to the original. There is a "Parc y Minos" in Burry Port.
There's a 20 yr old unmarried William Thomas in "Parky Minos St" on the 1881 Census. Have checked the original image and it's clearly 20 -so, not your man.
-
1891 Census
There's a Mary Thomas, widow, age 40, living on her own means, born Pembrey, address 2 Parky Minos St.
You are going to need the death certificate.

1881 Census (ref. RG11 5376 44 33)
Only 2 in household -
William Thomas, Head, Marr, age 33, potman at a lead works, born Llanelly
Mary Thomas, Wife, Marr, age 33, born Pembrey
Address - 17 Silver Terrace, Pembrey, Llanelly
Possibly your William. Mary fits the "Mary, widow, age 40, born Pembrey" on the 1891 Census.
