Are any of the family buried in the Jewish section of Glyntaff Cemetery?

I have a couple of plot numbers for Glyntaff cemetery:

George Gaze 1866 - 1928 Plot number L.0317
John Gaze 1880 - 1935 Plot number M.0060
Mary Ann Gaze (Pearson) 1864 - 1933 Plot number G.0626
Thomas Gaze 1836 - 1907 Plot number G.0625

I can check in the morning if they are on the Jewish burial list. However there is a newspaper report for a Charles gaze confectioner getting married in a methodist Chapel https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3634041/3634049/102/

Yeah I saw that and thats why I was confused and why I posted on here, I think my grandfather may be getting confused.
I just wanted to make sure that the reason I asked on here

Just checked the Jewish burials database and there are no Gaze (or similar / phoenetic spellings) families buried in Wales or England

Could you send me the link to that data base please, I have been speaking to someone and they said that the name before they became gaze may be Jewish

If you need help for your family history your best point of contact are the Local Archives.  These occasionally share the same building as the Library but are sometimes separate.

I have found that contacting the local archivist can be a great help as they are historians who know the areas well and most have done their own research about the area; they alos know what documents and information are held in the archive.

The National Library of Wales which is part of Aberystwyth University holds its own archive which has a massive collection of documents, etc relating to the whole of Wales again they are very helpful. 

Bangor University also has collections in their archives which can be screened.

If you go on the National Archives and search collections it doesn't only search what is held there but documents from the whole of England & Wales.  The individual archives will also have their own online catalogues.

Hope this gives this you a few more resources to search; hope it helps.
