I was up my elderly aunt yesterday to get a photo of my grandparents and we were talking about the 4 brothers who came over, and she mentioned that Peter died in a mining accident, I knew he lived in Merthyr but not that it was a mining accident. I will try and see her again and try and see if she remembers a date or near too Julie Feathers -----Original Message----- From: ROBERTALUNCHICK [mailto:ROBERTALUNCHICK@AOL.COM] Sent: 15 February 2015 20:28 To: Julie Feathers Cc: <glamorgan@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [GLA] Mining accident but dont know when or what mine Hi Julie how do you know he died in a mining accident ?

I have just spoken to my elderly aunt and she said he had a heart attack underground and died. She was about 10 to 15 yrs old as she remembers the "fuss" over the house and bank account and where all the money had gone and the house being left to the "housekeeper" even though there was no will. So the time frame would be 1945 to 1950ish and he lived at 8 Bridge Street. Is there anywhere I can look on line at newspapers, or would I have to travel up to Merthyr for the day to look at newspapers Thanks for all your help Julie Feathers -----Original Message----- From: glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Julie Feathers via Sent: 15 February 2015 20:36 To: glamorgan@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GLA] Mining accident but dont know when or what mine I was up my elderly aunt yesterday to get a photo of my grandparents and we were talking about the 4 brothers who came over, and she mentioned that Peter died in a mining accident, I knew he lived in Merthyr but not that it was a mining accident.
