Does anyone have any info on my great grandad Edwin Samuel Tanner who gave his place of birth as Dowlais 1849 approx. Married Martha Griffiths. He was a collier, had Philip George Edward Gladstone and Beatrice Maud Tanner died c 1893. Any info re local mines he may have worked in might be helpful. Some inlaws lived in Horse St. thanks in advance!

There are no employment records relating to any of the collieries ........ men paid by coal and drams filled ....... there are only details of salaried staff in the 19th century.
He could have worked at the Dowlais South Tunnel Colliery or the Penydarren Colleries .....
there were many small colleries. Have you checked all the census returns?
