Hi Gary.  My line are through the Carters and not the George Carter who married Selina.  The Carters of Paulton are pretty infamous and anyone who has line through the Carters of Paulton had to research all of them to find their particular line.  You are correct in saying that people (miners & others) left that area of Somerset because of the better prospects of work in the Welsh valleys.  I only live about 10 miles from where Selina & George lived when the moved to Wales. 

You might find these links interesting:

Cwm:  this is the area where Selina & George lived, Hall street is about 1 mile north of Cwm: http://www.cwmcommunitycare.org.uk/home/4583288474

There is a section on the Waunlwyd & Victoria Collieries (under "coal mining") where it is likely George & sons worked (George is shown as an Iron Miner on one census).

Welsh Coal Mines: an interesting web site where you can find out about the pits in the area & Wales generally: http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/

Hi Trees

Quite a while since had any dealings with the Carters, but they keep coming up!
