Try contacting the parish clerk, they are very helpful.  You have a date and the name , not a Jones  😀 so it shouldn't be to difficult.
There's a few Chapel cemeteries around as well,  but they might be more difficult to search.

thanks for the help and the info!

reply from Rhos: "I have searched our records and cannot seem to locate this burial."

back to the drawing board

Where does the adress come from , a death certicate. ?
she possibly died due to complications from giving birth.
James Maxwell mmn Jones. B and D Dec Qtr 1907.
I'm guessing this is Emily who was with parents William and Sarah,  lots of siblings living in Chester Street Wrexham.
Many of those are buried in Wrexham Ruabon Road Cemetery but no sign of Emily.

yes that's her, from a death certificate, stating - child birth 1 and a half months peritonitis - she had 3 other children (living to adulthood) before this

(NB: her husband, Robert Irving Maxwell, remarried but he died in 1916 at Hafod Colliery (natural causes) his address as North Road, Ponciau / Ponkey)

out of the 12 siblings, I only have four missing as to their final resting place, it's been a slog! 

there is no GRO birth entry for her that matches

[wilcoxon]

Was her mother Vaughan or Huxley.  There's a tree on Ancestry that's a bit confusing.

[plimmerian]

Her mother did use either Vaughan or Huxley surname on her children's birth certificates - she was born a Vaughan but was a Huxley on her marriage certificate - it does get confusing!

Salem Chapel Penycae.
Groes Chapel Penycae
Soar Chapel Aberderyn , now a house.

All the above had graveyards

Mynydd Sion Chapel St Ponciau.  A contact has looked and nothing showing there

I'm surprised that they aren't in Rhos Cemetery, they didn't seem to be Chapel unless they changed while in Ponciau.
