Hi Lynne

Most of my ancestors were miners - the names would be William Richards x2, Stephen Richards and Benjamin Richards. William is buried at Sardis Chapel. I think i have a photo of them in a book i bought of Saundersfoot but not certain. Do you know of anyone local who has more details about the miners?

Thanks,

Etna

Etna

I assume you are looking for pay books etc.

Pre-1912 Bonvilles Court colliery records were destroyed in a fire at the company office in Saundersfoot.

Post-1912 records: I have no idea if these have survived. In his books on the local mines Connop Price refers to a privately-held Vickerman archive. The Vickerman family owned Bonvilles Court colliery. Maybe the records you want are included in that archive but I have no suggestion where you go next.
