Pontyberem News?
« on: Tuesday 12 June 18 13:18 BST (UK) »
Anyone heard of this newspaper and whether anyone holds any Archives for it?

I am looking for possible funeral entries of my great grandparents  John (Bowen) Davies who died 02 July 1937 at 10 Railway Terrace, Pontyberem (born 08 May 1869) and Margaret Alice Davies (nee Griffiths) who died 24 April 1947 at Alstred House (11 Heol Y Parc), Pontyberem (born 15 Apr 1871).

I am told there may have been entries in the Pontyberem News or Llanelly Mercury.

Any entries I guess would be in the 2-3 weeks following their death dates.

Any help/leads would be greatly appreciated

Looking at that web site the Llanelly Mercury is only up to 1919
