You will have to try the 1928 certificate and hope that it gives useful information.

Which one of the online family tree sites would you recommend or do you need to use more than one?
I had a free 14 day trial with ancestry.co.uk which found things but I do not think I had total access.

1928 is the correct one.
We've found Elizabeth's son Thomas' mother in law and his still-born daughter are buried together in a chapel yard on Penygroes square. No sign of Thomas nor Elizabeth.

Jackpot. Elizabeth is there in an unmarked grave, one of about 10.  Not in the chapel records. We don't know which one yet but hoping someone local has the record of it.

It shows she died at home, Banctwrgwili, Penygroes, Llanelly with her son Thomas on 7th August 1928. 80 years old, spinster, certified by a Dr Clutterbuck.
Thanks to everyone.

By finding she had a second son, Thomas, it's given us a bit more work to finish it off!  ;D
No-one ever knew she had another older son.

I have had no result in trying to find details of Tom Anthony's burial place. We have contacted GRO and sent them the details: Deaths Dec 1947  Anthony   Tom 73 Carmarthen 8a 246.
GRO have not replied as usually they reply with a confirmation email. Our local registry office have no records of him either. Anyone got any ideas? He was born 7th June 1874 in Ty Picca, Llanegwad, Llangathen, Llandeilofawr.
