Thank you both for your info. It's good to have more understanding of events like this. Would anyone know anything about possible social assistance to the bereaved families?

Cheers, Topsy2

Many many thanks for this - it is appreciated. :). I'm not too good at using RootsChat yet, but will certainly keep trying.
Best Wishes, Topsy2

Monmouthshire / The mining accident at Cinder Pit, Blaenavon, Monmouthshire Nov 1838

It seems my great great grandfather David Evans and his son William (age 10) died in this accident which was caused by rainwater flooding the mine. Does anybody know if there is any contemporary account of the accident in any newspapers of the time, and if so, how I find them? Does anybody have any information about the incident?
