Hi Scatty, thank you for this information.  Have taken a look at the site you gave and it does have lots of information. Have emailed alan george to enquire about cemeteries in the area - they do not seem to be listed.

It is a wonderful site, which I will enjoy browsing.

Kind regards, Frances

Hello Frances  :)

Catholic Churches in the Merthyr area are included on this Genuki page:

Hello Morgan, thanks for the link.  Have now discovered there are no cemeteries attached to Catholic Churches in Wales.  Burials are usually in municipal cemeteries. Think I am now hopefully "getting nearer" to a result (hopefully) in my quest.
A link for anyone on the same trail is www.caerphilly.gov.uk On this site go to Bereavement Services on home page, the site also has a list of cemeteries.
regards frances . :)

Have now found the burial place of my ancestors, very helpful staff at caerphilly council.
Still hunting for "living" relations though.
