I am a new subscriber to the list and my name is Barrie Keech.
My grandfather and family came to live in Glamorgan in the 1920s-1930s.
They lived at: -
8 Arthur Street
Llanwonno
Mountain Ash
My grandfather was called Thomas Keech and his wife was Sarah. My dad was Ernest and with
him was
his brother Harold and brother Arthur Bernard Keech. Arthur Bernard died while they were
living in Mountain Ash and must be buried
there. In reality they came to Glamorgan/Mountain Ash to seek work in the pits. All of
them were Colliery Labourers (below ground).
Sadly they have all died now and I know nothing of their time in Mountain Ash. Based at
Mountain Ash is there an obvious pit at
which they almost certainly worked in that period please? My hope is that there might be
some surviving records of their work
as miners. Thank you Barrie Keech
