Hello Lynda,
Depending on the year; children started working in welsh
mines as early as eight years old.
My grandfather worked in the Gresford Colliery from age trwelve.
Try "General History of Welsh Mining"
www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~lizcolin/w_gen
If you have "Copernic" as a server,
www.copernic.com you may
search many, many sites at once. Copernic is Canadian and free to download.
I use it all the time.
Good luck,
Roger McFallon.
Caroline, Alberta.

Subject: [DEN] Wrexham Colliery
Hello to the List
Does anyone know of a list of coal miners who worked at the Wrexham
Colliery
is available. Is there any address in Wales I could write to?
I am looking for the time of 1885 to 1900s. Did the people in Wales
start
quite young going to the mines? If, I suggested the age of 14 years,
could
that be correct?
Thank you, Lynda from Canada
Lynda Bouchard
