Trying to find the Burial place of my Aunty Edith May Edwards Married to George Luce (Viner) from Garndiffaith Area

Welcome to Rootschat
Please could you indicate when she died or when she was born. I have asked the moderator to move your post to the Monmouthshire board
Marriages Mar 1930
Edith M Edwards/ George Luce Pontypool 11a 211
In 1939 they were in Radnorshire - where does the surname Viner feature?
George Luce died 1978 so did they divorce? No Viner/Luce marriage
-
They appear to have had 5 children between 1930 & 1951. Are they still alive? Can they not provide any info re Edith

There is this marriage but she is Elizabeth M Luce. Pontypool is the correct reg district for Garndiffaith. Not finding another Luce/Viner marriage in area.
Marriages Mar Q 1957
LUCE Elizabeth M - VINER Pontypool 8c 843

VINER EDITH M - MORRIS PONTYPOOL 28 551
Edith M was born 1912 to clarify not living.
So looking for Edith M Morris death after 1981 born 1912
Added: Unless she remarried after Mr Morris.

Peter you can search the GRO index yourself. It is free but you have to register.

The only Edith May Morris born 1912 died Torfaen area, but only just skimmed through after 1981 so would recheck.

Good possibility it is your Edith May
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torfaen
May help to find burial - enquire at Torfaen Cemetery Office
Tel: 01495 766150
Fax: 01633 647328
Email: cemeteryenquiries@torfaen.gov.uk
Added: Would be easier if you had her address in 1994 as that would help narrow. There maybe a possibility that she moved from the Garndiffaith area having remarried.
Address can be obtained from death cert, which would have to be purchased, if you think maybe correct.
Possible death for Billy going by likely birth
