Dear Mel
 
I don't think any one has suggested the Welsh Coal Mines page
where there are comprehensive lists of mines, brief histories and photos
http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/Photo.htm
 
There is also a forum where you may find useful info and/or help.

Thank you for your response



that's just the thing.. they were living at my Great grandmother's parents house at time of birth - Smithfield, Dinas, Pembrokeshire - no mines around here!

They were both born in Pembrokeshire but Great Grandfather is described as a miner on my grandfather's birth certificate and his brother apparently lost a leg in a mining accident.
