Are you sure he is dead!!!!

      

Thanks for looking - he has to be somewhere!

Have you looked at the original entry in the Cambrian newspaper?  It might have a bit more information than the index.

I've got the full entry and although it goes into detail about how he died, it unfortunately  doesn't give any more info about where he was buried.

Have you tried St Illtyds Church Neath records are held in St Thomas's Church Neath.

Good Luck.

There were a few old graveyards in the town of Neath. One being Maes yr haf. The church is still there, and if you look on Google maps, you will see it's behind Happy Homes Furniture shop., near Neath train station.  In the late 1960s or early 1970s they removed most of the graves to build a supermarket...Liptons, I think. The bones and stones were removed to the new Llantwit cemetery at this time. So, when your say your ancestor was "buried in Neath" there's a good chance it could have been in Maes yr haf.

Thank you for that - I'll lock this now.
