Hiya Beth....my wifes family live in Senghenydd....and their ancestors were in that disaster as well ..there is plenty of details online of the disaster...obviously we will see if other members can come up with any details for you...in the meantime, I will contact my wifes cousin on Facebook and see if she can find any of the family that may still be in Senghenydd of Llewellyn...I have visited there many times and know the village well ....do you know how old Llewellyn was when he died ?

Morning Allan!

Thank you for all your help so far. Very kind of you! Llewellyn was 32 when he died and he was living at 11 Graig Terrace, Senghenydd. Best wishes, Beth

Hi Allan!

Thanks for this link!

I can't see the photo at the moment but I'm not sure if that is because I need to be accepted as a friend of the group before I can view them.
