Hi,
Helen, just a simple question : which death certs have you got (per your original post)? What  does it  say on the certificates that you have  for you to rule them out?
Kind regards:)

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.

Hi,
Helen I've got my fingers crossed for you.
I know how much frustration  it is to research names like this (  The reason why I read your post in this first place> I  have Thomas Thomas's  in my family  and also have how many of my lot in they mines who died _ I've traced mine in the end  but it took  a few years to do it .
 I really  do hope  this death cert  is him - it is  the one I'd personally go for myself -If  it turns out not to be him it's still a step further to eliminating

All my  fingers  are  crossed for you xxx- please let us know the outcome when you get it. Hopefully this is you man

 Very Kind regards

Hi Cell


Have just received the death certificate for Thomas Thomas and believe this is more likely to be him.  He is aged 44 on it so that is a year closer to his age. Also on the 1911 census he was lodging at 11 Thompson Villas so is reasonable to presume that after the war he would go back to the same area to lodge and work.


Details are died 3/6/1929 at Lady Windsor Colliery
age 44
Of 20 Thompson Villas, Ynysybwl
Accidentally killed by being run over by coal train
Informant a certificate received from the coroner inquest held on 5/6/1929

Thankyou very much for the help and advice

Helen
