Probably in Dukestown or Cefn Golau cemeteries, Definitely not in local church/chapel graveyards after 1849 (following Cholera epidemics)
Many of my wife's family members born and raised in Tredegar, were buried in Bedwelty(St Annans)Churchyard in the early 1900's.

They had 2 other sons William Alfred and Edwin Albert who also became ironmongers working some of the time for their father in the 1900s

I know what you mean, Emrys.

My father's parents both had Welsh as their first language, but my grandmother was from mid-Wales (Llanidloes) while my grandfather was Tredegar born and bred. However, they never spoke Welsh at home, and my father learned hardly any Welsh. When (as a child) I asked why they only spoke English, I was told that "they couldn't understand each other's Welsh". It emerged much later that they could understand each other perfectly well, but each regarded the other's Welsh as "incorrect". Being both strong personalities, they argued all the time, and in the end agreed to speak only English. In fact, I can remember unwittingly triggering a heated argument about the difference between dwym and poeth to describe temperature, when working through my Welsh homework.

I went to the Lewis School in Pengam, which was in Glamorgan; Welsh was compulsory for the first three years. The trouble was that they taught "Book Welsh", instead of the living language. I had to unlearn most of it when I subsequently started to learn Welsh in evening classes.
