finding a recent post re deaths in coal mines
« on: Saturday 19 September 15 14:00 BST (UK) »
I am sure that it was here that I saw a post which  gave a link to a website of deaths in coal mines.
I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you

Sandra.
Thanks for your suggestion, but I am looking for a death in Merthyr Tydfil in the 1880s.  I did look when I first saw the post, I found the name I was looking for but I was not sure of the date of birth. I usually  bookmark useful pages but I can not see the web page in my bookmarks. Another senior moment!!!!

Many thanks, it was not the site I saw but I did find a gentleman of the same name but not the ame birth year.  A negative result is better than no result.
Thank you very much

Evan Hughes born 1845 in Darowen Montgomeryshire.
Married Sarah Jones in 1870
1881 has the family in Llanbrynmair.
Sarah died in 1882.
Unable to find him in 1891.
Family story is that the children were farmed out and he went to work in the coal mines in South Wales and that he was killed in a mining accident.
The reason that I was homing in on Merthyr Tydfil was because I have found her cousin and family there on the 1891 census.
I have been looking for him off and on for years with no luck.
