Where was he living in 1939?  Have you established his exact death date & contacted the local cemeteries in that area

The Holywell RD covered many areas

Article in the Flintshire County Herald, 18th October 1940 states that he was interred 'at the Parish Church'.

Many thanks ,though I had been told previously that he wasn't buried at Bagillt Church. It could be that they weren't aware where his Grave was.
