Susan. Have you seen the War memorial in St Peter Church Stockport. There is a Courtney Thomas Purnell ( Fireman)
Merchant Navy. Aged 19 of Crosskeys? Any relation?
Regards Kim

Hello all. I'd like to know where Graig y Haul was too. My grandparents, William and Mary Green, lived there before moving to Tredegar Street - just round the corner from Tredegar Terrace.
It's a small world; my father, Des Green, was a friend of Howard Purnell - a relative of yours perhaps, Susan? Also, though I'm not absolutely sure, I think my grandparents and my father was friendly with with the Jeffries. My father also worked at Risca and Nile Mile Point collieries, before finishing at Britannia colliery.
Richard

Thomas Purnell was my great grandfather, Craig y haul was just below the lamp room on what we called the 'Office Hill' which led from the Pentecostal chapel up to the pit itself. As you walked up to the pit top it was on the right hand side. I only remember it as ruins but was a great place to get pit waste to make our dens on the mountain. My Aunty Ann Booth, nee Jenkins was born there. Her mother, my grandmother, was Rhodda Purnell Toms daughter.
