Slowhands:

This information was of great interest and this is probably what "Jennie" was referring to in her letter to my Gr. Grandmother. However, I was wondering what a "collier" was? Did they work in the tin mines? Would there be any websites with any employee information on the Powell Duffryn Colliery? Is it worth my time to pursue this?

Also, do you have any suggestions on how to locate people born after 1901, since that seems to be the last census available. Why do they stop with 1901? I am interested in locating some distant relatives who may be living in Wales today.

Thank you for the information and any suggestions.
