If you've got a death date do contact Gwynedd Family History Society (FHS). FHSs are a valuable resource, usually manned by volounteers who know their area.

You can be SURE that the FHS I gave you WILL have the burial data for St Marys.

Hello

Pontyberem is in Carmarthenshire and the Church is St John's! See the entry in Genuki:

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CMN/Llanddarog/#ChurchRecords

Dyfedfhs have MIs for Caersalem Chapel in Pontyberem but don't seem to have the Church MIs.

Kind Regards
Morgan
