Link: Senghenydd mining disasters (1901 & 1913) victims

[Sikes]

I know this information is available on other sites (such as the excellent http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk) but I've put it into Google Fusion tables to show a map & searchable lists of victims for both disasters: http://bit.ly/Senghenydd

The locations of addresses may not be accurate (that's down to Google) and not all victims are plotted (buildings long gone - such as the huts, street name changes and multiple victims at the same address).

That’s an amazing piece of work. My great grandfather’s brother Lewis Charles Hurley was killed in the 1901 disaster.

Re www.jamter.co.uk

Thank you I am aware of the web page. Amazingly we found each other some time ago. She is the great granddaughter of Lewis Charles so has given us a lot of information to increase our knowledge of our Hurley family.
I have just found out that Lewis Charles’ brother Albert John (my great grandfather) and his son, also Albert John who also worked underground lived a few doors away from each other in Senghenydd in the April 1901 Census. The first disaster was May 1901. In the 1911 Census Albert John and Albert John and the rest of the family including my grandmother had moved away to Nelson mid Glamorgan. I am wondering when they did indeed move. They had a lucky escape. I am not sure I will be able to find that information.
All very interesting!
