Hi
Cell many thanks for all the research. I have looked on that website with no success kept bringing up too many names to show them all and wouldn't let me narrow the search down.
Have sent for the death certificate you suggest as I agree with you it seems the most likely even though the age isn't correct but near enough as you say it depends on what info the mining company had for him.
The last certificate I sent for was Merthyr 11a 744 Thomas age 46, better age but was registered by his brother David which my Thomas did not have. Also a Thomas died Llanelly age 45.
Thankyou very much for all the help.
Fingers crossed this is the right one.
Helen
