John Rees

[Dannemois]

Can someone please help locate place of residence for John Rees in 1881? 

South Wales Echo Jan 30 1886: At the Junction Inn, Mr T. Williams the district coroner held an inquiry into the death of John Rees, a young collier, who was killed at the Cefn Brithdir Colliery on the 26th inst, by a fall of stone. 

I am not sure which Junction Inn the report referred to, the nearest to the colliery would be Bargoed, but there was also one in  Hengoed

I located a possible on the 1881@ Windsor Terrace? no other info
John Rees, 51, born Bedwellty
Ann, wife, 56, born Nantyglo
Nicholas, son, 26, b. Bedwellty
Enoch, son, 20, b. Gelligaer
Janes, daug, 18, ditto
John, son, 16, ditto

If this is the family; where was Windsor Terrace

Error in reasoning apologies.

I was thinking John would be too old but see there is a John age 16 who could be described as a young collier in 1886.

Hi Roy
the UK Coal Mining Accidents list (in Ancestry) have him listed as being aged 21 when the accident happened, so born about 1865. No other details though.
Looking on FreeBMD, the only death registered that looks close is Merthyr registration district, John Rees aged 20 (quarter 1 of 1886)11a 370.
So, the John Rees at 3 Windsor Terrace in Gelligaer aged 16 would fit?
Looking at others on the census adjacent to John Rees and his family in the 1881 census, there is Windsor Terrace, the Plasnewydd Hotel, then Mount Pleasant, also Heolddu Road
The Glamorgan Monumental Index says he is buried in St.Catwg, Gelligaer
