Hello there,
according to family stories, my Great Great Grandfather was a mountain fighter. His name was Thomas Biggs, and lived at Varteg, Monmuthshire, though born in Coleford, Somerset, in 1837. He died, described as "feeble minded" not long after the 1901 census.
I do have a photo of him, but sadly no other information about his role as a mountain fighter. I would be very grateful, if you ever come across any information on him, to share it. If you would like a copy of his photo, contact me at (*)
kind regards,
Susan Winch
