Are you sure about your dates as there is no death on freebmd in those years
www.freebmd.org.uk
What is the correct spelling for their surname
Brazils of Pwll Llanelli.
William Brazel died 1910,and wife Margaret Brazel died 1913
There is a 1910 death on freebmd for a Margaret Brazell aged 56 also a William Brazell in 1909 but in different counties

Hi,
Are you sure of your dates ?
The Brazil/l name in Carmarthenshire does seem to be mostly concentrated around Llanelli
Brazell Margaret 56 Llanelly 11a 595 there is this one in 1910, no William in 1910.
If you search the free BMD using " Bra* " in the surname box, leave the Christian name field blank and put in the drop down menu Carmarthenshire, you should see all the Brazil (l)'s registered in the Llanelli area and surrounds. It seems that the further back you go , the most popular way to spell it was with just the one L. The more recent entries, for the late 1800's into the 1900's it seems most of them went on to spell it with LL's.
There are also a few entries there that could be Brazil families too ( spellings such as BRAZAEL
BRAZAKL ,Brazell ,Brazall and so on)
I wouldn't worry too much about the correct spelling. It looks as if the families (or the registrar) spelt it whatever way they felt like as so many did with their unusual surnames.
I couldn't find a William Brazil in 1910 in Carmarthenshire, or anything that looks like him . I left the surname blank and just searched on the Christian name of William for the whole of 1910 - There's nothing that remotely looks like him in Llanelli and the whole of Carmarthenshire.
Where did you get the dates that you have from?
It does look as if they've either died in another county , see Carole's post, or the death dates you have are incorrect .......or they haven't been transcribed, which means that to be absolutely sure- you need to look through the images of the B Deaths for the year (page by page manually)
Kind Regards :)
PS
edited to add, I think I've found them
They were "bugging me" (in the nicest way !) so I decided to look into it further -
BMD's Death:
William Brazell died 1903
death age 51 ( his age would tie in with all the censuses for him)
vol 11a page 617. reg Llanelli
Margaret:
there's a probate for her:
Margaret Brazell
Probate Date-17 Mar 1911
Died 5 May 1910
widow Of 3 colliers row Pwll died 5th may 1910 to John Brazell ,collier, effects $170.
https://www.gov.uk/wills-probate-inheritance/searching-for-probate-records, (the address of Colliers row Pwll also ties in with their address on the censuses for this couple)
BMD's Death
Margaret Brazell
