(NB: see reference to husband Thomas dying just a few days earlier !?. Checking the Inquests I see no reason to assume this was anything other than coincidence, perhaps heartbreak even. That said there is a very interesting Inquest for presumably another family member, John Rogers of Pool Hill died 1871 through very unusual circumstances indeed !)

I guess after Thomas & Elizabeth passed away after good long lives there's even less to keep the younger generations in the FoD area, so perhaps they did migrate to Bedwellty a year or so later to find more work ?.

There still appear to be earlier generations of Thomas and Elizabeth on FoD PRs to find... good luck hunting !
