Roy, I do have a copy of the MI's for Rhydwilym. The following entries will be of interest to you. Note the spelling PHILLIP not PHILLIPS. Grave W1. Cof Faen/PHEBE gwraig BENJ.

Grave W2. Bedd Faen/ ELISABETH PHILLIPS/ Danygraig, Llangolman/ bu farw Mai 28 1874/ yn 49 oed. CUNNICK you do not mention, any may be a new generation as far as you are concerned. It is not a common surname. I have never seen it before! There is another CUNNICK burial, which is probably connected. Grave D7. Er/ Cof am/ MARTHA CUNNICK/ Pennfordd/ bu farw Mehefin 14 1819/ yn 67 oed/ Hefyd ANN PHILLIPS/ bu farw Mai 6 1839/ yn 4 oed. There are several other PHILLIP/PHILLIPS buried at Rhydwilym.

Hello Achwr (or Shw Mae!) and Melanie, Thanks for your messages. I am not sure what burial grounds I'm interested in because I am don't know which chapels had burial grounds, with the exception of Rhydwilym which I have read does have one, and I am not 100% sure which chapels various people were members of at the time they died. However the names, dates and place of death of a few of the people I'm interested in are listed below as are the names of some chapels which certain family members seem to have had connections with. Sarah James (formerly Thomas) wife of George James, died in Market Square, Narberth on 23 December 1849. Elizabeth Phillips, daughter of Benjamin Phillips, died at Danygraig farm near Llangolman on 30 May 1874. Phoebe Griffiths (formerly Davies), the wife of Thomas Griffiths, died in Danygraig Farm near Llangolman on 26 May 1879. Ann James (wife of John James) died on 4 September 1880 in Redstone, Narberth. John James (a stonemason) died 25 April 1889 in Redstone, Narberth. Most of the descendants of these Jameses and Griffithses from Pembrokeshire who later moved to Glamorgan were Baptists and therefore some of those above were probably also Baptists, but perhaps not all of them. Some of the chapels in which various relations got married or which some family members are thought to have had a connection are: Nebo Independent Chapel, Cilymaenllwyd. Bethesda Baptist Chapel, High Street, Narberth. Ffynnon Baptist Chapel, Llanddewi Velfrey. Rhydwilym Baptist Church, Llandissilio. (Danygraig Farm where Elizabeth Phillips and Phoebe Griffiths died is quite close to Rhydwilym). I don't want to inconvenience you, or other members of this list, but if you do have access to any sources that you could check reasonably easily, or if you have any other suggestions, I would be grateful.
