Hi Bernadine,

The nearest catholic church would have been St. Mary's in Wrexham but I don't know if there were any burials there 

Here's a link to info for the other church/chapels in the Esclusham area.

Hi
The local studies/archives at the A.N. Palmer Centre in Wrexham has the St Mary's registers. This includes 1856-1896 (deaths).

She may also have been buried in one of the municiple cemeteries in the area.

Just to give an idea of the area.
The X is the site of Hafod Colliery spoil bank, you can see a Hafod road just to the right.

Perhaps looking for childrens baptisms will help to decide if  they were RC.

Holy Trinity, Esclusham / Rhostyllen is the closest and would have been built then.
