Risca Black Vein Colliery Coal Mine
Posted: 11/01/2011 23:33:33 Reply | Quote I believe my great-great- grandfather William Bevan is the person listed as perishing in this disaster in 1860 - but if I could obtain his wife & possibly children's names (even his date of birth) I would appreciate it. Any assistance would be great. Thanks. IP: 153.107.97.156 |

Quite sad, it often shows that the wife will be "Living on Charity". -- 'FOR SALE: 1 Kidney and Half a Lung. If the Traffic Warden comes back to my car again, I can get more bits...'
