Augustus MORGAN died at Trafalgar Colliery (General)

by Gill, (6683 days ago)

Is there any information out there regarding an accident at the Trafalgar Colliery in 1917?
I only have a reference to it in a newspaper article, which mentions Augustus Morgan (my G Grandfathers Brother) dying there. I can find no record of his death in BMD or in Parish Records although I haven't searched extensively yet.

The "Roll of Honour" project has captured the info. I suspect the source here was a newspaper article.
