Bangor is in Caernarfonshire - not Carmarthenshire.  I have asked the moderator to move your post

Did you check for a death reg in 1997 or 1998 as I can't see one?

What was her birthyear?

Their 1948 marriage reg shows her just as Elsie.  2 children born 1949 & 1954 - are they still alive?  If so - can they provide the info re burial?

When & where did her husband die?

As already mentioned by Carole, When Elsie married James (Henry) McCarthy she was only showing on the index as Elsie Roberts, he is listed as James Henry McCarthy on the index on North Wales BMD.  It was a Civil marriage.

That Elsie Elizabeth Roberts who died in 1997 can be found in Bangor in 1939 with a birth year of 1914
