Hi! My great aunt Fanny Webb was married to a man named George Veater. They
lived in Wales and immigrated to the US in about 1902. Anything familiar
there?

Subject: [BlaenauGwent] John HANCOCK/ HANDCOCK, Blaina, 1869
Hi Listers,
My great-great-grandfather, John HANCOCK, was accidentally killed in a coal
pit
at Blaina by a fall of stone. He died on 15th. December 1869 and was
buried
on
20th. December at St. Peter's, Blaina. (The death certificate and
burial
register name him as John HANDCOCK.)
The inquest on his death was held on 18th. December 1869 and information
for
the death cerificate was received from W. H. Brewer, Coroner for
Monmouthshire.
Would any one know where I might obtain details of the inquest, please? Is
it
likely that the accident would have been reported in a local newspaper
and
what
would the name of that newspaper have been?
Any information on John HANCOCK/HANDCOCK who was a collier/quarryman from
Oldland, Bitton, Gloucestershire would be much appreciated.
