My Grandfather was born in Henwaun Cottage Blaina in 1878, I am told it was near the Blaina railway station
part of which can be seen today. His father was born in Henwaun Terrace in Blaina, I believe some of these houses
still exist but are now called Abertillery Road Blaina. A coal
haulier was the term for a Mineworker underground possibily in charge of a horse and dram with or without
coal to transport from coal face to surface.
There was little unemployment in the 1900's every family member worked, young girls often worked as servants. It was not uncommon for mineworkers to employ household
help, but it was often a family member e.g. neice cousin
etc  it helped sometimes with over crowding as families were large then.
