Might be worth trying Llantwit Cemetery which I think is run by Neath Port Talbot Council...

The council run Llantwit cemetery is on the opposite side of the road to the older Church cemetery on Neath Rd. The council would only have details of burials in its cemetery (i'e. not the Church section). I can tell you that having visited the Vicar a number of years ago to see the Church burial registers (weren't on line then), there is no cemetery plan and so looking for a grave is pot luck, especially in the older overgrown part.

Brian Wagstaff has put online records of the new part of llantwit cemetery you could check that, there are a couple of hundred names on there. Good luck

There is a plaque in St Thomas’s to Rice Davies (1742-1818), a son Of Neath and grandfather to Rhys Davies Powell who built Craig y Nos. He was a surgeon and magistrate in London for most of his life. Is anything known about his family origins?
Thanks

Hi I have relatives buried at St Thomas' in 1881 and 1893. I just wondered if you got an answer to your query?
