	According to this site, Glamorgan Record Office hold the records http://www.archiveswales.org.uk/anw/get_collection.php? inst_id=33&coll_id=76330&expand= As your Grt Grandfather died in 1912, there should be no problem accessing his records. It's out side the 100 year closure as it is. If you can't get there yourself, the Staff will probably search and copy them for you, but are likely to make a charge.
