Hi

If you have no other information on him, how did you reach the point of wanting information on him?

What is the full detail from his death certificate?

Hi Roy,

The only Edwin Prosser coalminer, +/-5 of 1840) is:
Edwin Prosser Head Widower Male 49 1842 Coalminer Cwmyoy, Monmouthshire, Wales
though that would appear to be a bit far away (unless he moved later).
RG12 Piece number 4349 Folio 19 Page 10

Hope you're well,

Deirdre

Hi Deirdre
That's the only one I could find and my thoughts exactly; the only detail I had to start it with was a snippet from a newspaper reporting his death but unlike those who lived local their place of residence was in the write up.  Its possible it could be him but without further detail I guess I will never know.  Many thanks for trying
Regards, Roy

Hi Mabel
Thanks for trying; I did find that site but as you said it doesn't add to what I already know.

Kind Regards, Roy

Hi Roy

What was the reason you were actually looking for (an) Edwin Prosser?
Do you have (an) Edwin Prosser that you are trying to link the accident to?

The reason I ask is that you have now used the phrase . . . . .
" it doesn't add to what I already know."
So, what do you already know?

Regards
Ray

I have always been able to see what you found . . . . .

but, why were you looking for an Edwin Prosser?

Were you doing a sweep to see what came up to see if you could use it?

I'm trying to determine how many of the miners who worked at the Cefn Brithdir Colliery actually lived in George Inn/Brithdir.   I found several accident reports of miners who were killed or injured whilst working at the Cefn Brithdir Colliery, most lived in Bargoed.  With regards to Edwin Prosser, there is no place of residence which is why I was hoping to find him living nearby.
