the above was born Bristol 1863 and by 1874 ,Charles belonged to a Bible class @Sudbrook,Monmouthshire(apparently the village was the operations centre for the building of the Severn Tunnel.)
Once the tunnel was opened ,Charles moved and started work at Barry Docks,where he fell of the dock wall on 31/March 1886 ,he was rescued and transferred to Cardiff Infirmary where he died from his injuries 3/April 1886,and the inquest was held 2 days later
>>>all info taken from his brothers family bible>>>
the problem that we are having is tracking down any info on the accident or the coroners report
thank you
