JENKINS Caradoc – 1909 – 13/07/1909 – Age 68 – Abersychan Doorman, Powells Tillery Steam Coal Co. Ltd., Monmouth. Neck dislocated on engine plane, where he was employed attending to an air door. The journey had been standing at a junction for three-quarters of an hour or so below the door awaiting another journey coming out to the other. Deceased was last seen cleaning the road, about 30 yards from his door. The engineman alleges that he got three distinct rings on the electric bell, which meant "pull the journey back towards the pit," and he acted on the sign until stopped by the journey rider signalling "stop." The rider denies having given a signal to pull back and so far there is no explanation of the signal having been given. The doors on this road are a source of considerable danger and several fatalities have occurred at them.

JENKINS D. Rees – 1902 – 10/10/1902 – Age 34 – Morriston Collier. Morriston Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. He volunteered to go round to a place, to knock as a signal to others driving towards that place, and was suffocated by firedamp with which it was filled.

JENKINS D.P. – 1905 – 20/03/1905 – Age 34 – Cymmer No.2 Repairer, Insoles Ltd., Glamorgan. He was knocking out a post at the mouth of a stall for the purpose of ripping when a fall of about 4 tons of roof and side took place and killed him. A prop withdrawing machine should have been used. No.2 Rhondda seam.

JENKINS Daniel – 1907 – 12/04/1907 – Age 36 – Caeduke Repairer, Longhor Colliery Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall of roof on road.

Five feet seam Safety lamps.

JENKINS Daniel – 1909 – 23/10/1909 – Age 30 – Craigend Roadsman, Carron Co., Lanarkshire. Deceased was assisting at a survey on the main haulage road, when a stone fell upon him from the roof. There was a movement on the roof caused by the workings of a seam above.

JENKINS David – 1900 – 24/10/1900 – Age 43 – Glenavon Collier, Glenavon Rhondda Collieries Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Drowned by an inrush of water from the workings of an old colliery. 5 killed.

JENKINS David – 1901 – 24/05?/1901 – Universal Repairer, Universal Steam Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. This explosion was specially reported upon by W Galloway Cd 947. 81 killed.

JENKINS David – 1903 – 18/06/1903 – Age 19 – Fochriw No.2 Collier, Guest Keen and Nettlefoulds Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall at face cliff, 44 inches by 23 inches by 12 inches thick, fell while deceased is said to have been preparing to set a prop under it. Rhas Las seam.

JENKINS David – 1903 – 26/03/1903 – Age 21 – Elliott Collier, Powell Duffryn Steam Coal Co. Ltd., Monmouth. When pulling a piece of coal down from the face the roof fell from an unseen slip. There were two inside slips which ought to have acted as a warning so that apparently he neglected to take reasonable precautions.

JENKINS David – 1904 – 12/08/1904 – Age 40 – Llanbradach No.2 Repairer, Cardiff Steam Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased was killed by the sudden fall of two pairs of 13 feet timbers and their lagging from above which he had cleared away all the loose rubbish. There was no fall of roof and the fireman had been on the top of the lagging at 5.30 p.m.

JENKINS David – 1904 – 14/11/1904 – Age 28 – Maesteg Deep Repairer, Norths Navigation Collieries (1889) Ltd., Glamorgan. Fatally injured on main deep. 4 killed.

JENKINS David – 1905 – 03/08/1905 – Age 20 – Gelli Isaf Collier, William Williams, Glamorgan. Deceased, who worked alone, is supposed to have charged a hole in the coal with compressed powder, ignited the fuse and retired to a place of safety. The report of a shot was heard and he went back to his stall but as he arrived at the face, his shot went off, and injured him so badly about the head that he died on the next day. The collier in the next stall to deceased said that he fired a shot in the roof shortly before the accident and heard another go off in a minute or two afterwards. Deceased may have taken the first shot for his or he may have been doing something to his shot charging or unramming it.

JENKINS David – 1905 – 23/09/1905 – Age 27 – Llanbradach No.2 Haulier, Cardiff Steam Coal Collieries Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. A full journey was being outwards from a double parting when a small blocking rope, which was either hitched to one of the trams or had become entangled with it, coiled round deceased who was standing on the parting and crushed him to death. The evidence at the inquest was very conflicting as to whether the small rope was hitched to the tram or had become attached to it by accident. The rider, whose duty it was to unhitch the small rope, had left the parting at the time of the accident. The Coroner summed up for manslaughter against this man but the Jury gave him the benefit of the doubt.

JENKINS David – 1907 – 21/02/1907 – Age 50 – Rhymney Merthyr No.2 Collier, Rhymney Iron Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. The deceased were clearing a large fall on a double parting, when three pairs of timbers at one end of the fall were crushed out, and deceased and two other men were buried by the rubbish which had rested on the collars. Ras Las seam. 2 killed.

JENKINS David – 1908 – 02/09/1908 – Age 19 – Main No.1 Haulier, Main Colliery Co. Ltd., Glamorgan.

JENKINS David – 1908 – 31/07/1908 – Age 52 – Cefn-y-bryn Collier, Cefn-y-bryn Colliery Co., Glamorgan. He died on 28th September from Brights disease, accelerated by an accident which fractured the tibia and fibula bones of the right leg. The accident was caused through Jenkins being crushed by a tram, attached to the rope at a small hauling engine, slipping down a gradient of 1 in 3.5. It is probable that the brake strap of the engine was not tightened down sufficiently.

JENKINS David – 1909 – 29/10/1909 – Darran Repairer, Rhymney Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. This accident has been the subject of a Special Report. 27 men lost their lives and 4 were injured.

Fall of roof at road clift, 14 feet by 6 feet by 2.25 feet thick, fell as deceased's partner was propping it, preparatory to setting double timbers under it. Some low timbers had been knocked out on the previous night and the lower bed of roof rolled down but the timbers were not replaced, as they should have been, allowing the roof to break. No.2 Rhondda seam.

JENKINS Henry - 1906 - 24/10/1906 – Age 35 - Cambrian No.2 Haulier, Cambrian Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Struck on the head by a piece of coal, 1 foot by 1 foot by 9 inches thick, which fell from between the laggings in a Barry face. Blood poisoning set in, and he died on November 14th. Red coal seam.

JENKINS Henry - 1907 - 02/12/1907 – Age 17 - Glyncymmer Assistant repairer, Glenavon Garw Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall of roof on road.

The roof had not been timbered where the fall occurred. 3 killed.

JENKINS John - 1900 - 05/12/1900 – Age 47 - Varteg Collier, Varteg Colliery Co., Brecon. Fall of roof on road cliff from between road prop, 6 feet x 4 feet x 4 inches thick, as hews passing into work. Red vein.

JENKINS John - 1902 - 08/05?/1902 – Age 67 - Hamstead Dataller, Hamstead Colliery Co. Ltd., Staffordshire. Crushed between tubs and door. The tubs appeared to have been insufficiently lockered when left in the shunt and they ran by gravitation to where Jenkins was repairing a door frame.

JENKINS John - 1902 - 26/05?/1902 – Age 64 - Dare Labourer Ocean Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased was stowing a road dipping 6 to 8 inches per yard.

JENKINS John - 1907 - 12/09/1907 – Age 28 - Ferndale No.5 Rider, D Davis and Sons Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall of roof on road, cliff, 10 feet by 8 feet by 2 feet thick. Deceased was riding on a journey down a dip, when a collar broke, and caused the next pair of timbers to be crushed out and the roof to fall. The fracture in the collar was fresh. Repairs had been recently done in the road near where the fall occurred and very probably caused extra squeeze.

JENKINS John - 1907 - 14/12/1907 – Age 65 - Dinas Main No.3 Roadsman, Britannic Merthyr Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Explosion of firedamp or coal dust. 7 killed.

JENKINS John - 1908 - 04/07/1908 – Age 61 - Wyndham Waterman, Cory Bros. and Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. While illegally riding in an empty journey up a gradient of 1 in 9, a cotterel became detached from an arrangement called a billy catch, connecting the rope to the trams, and the trams ran wild down the gradient. He was so badly injured that he died on 8th July.

JENKINS John - 1908 - 25/08/1908 – Age 19 - Britannic Merthyr Haulier, Britannic Merthyr Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. While hauling a tram, drawn by a horse, down a stall road. He was found lying underneath it on his face with his legs under the front and his back under the hind axle. Died upon reaching home.

JENKINS John L. - 1905 - 28/09/1905 – Age 32 - Waunycoed No.3 Collier, South Wales Primrose Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. While passing up the main slant he appeared to have fallen under a ‘journey’ of 8 loaded trams. Deceased had been observed in a manhole by the rider in passing it.

JENKINS Joseph - 1909 - 04/09/1909 – Age 37 - Letty Shenkin Fireman, Powell Duffryn Steam Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall on road. Deceased was examining a newly laid parting when a piece of rock, 2 feet by 1.5 feet by 8 inches thick, fell on his hip from the roof. He was treated locally for dislocation until Sept. 20th, when he was taken to Cardiff Infirmary. Attempts were made to reduce dislocation, but, as he was in a very weak state when admitted, an operation was not attempted until Oct. 23rd. During the operation it was discovered that the neck of the thigh bone was fractured. He died from shock on the same day.

JENKINS Linus - 1907 - 26/05?/1907 – Age 18 - National Rider, United National Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased was riding up the rubbish tip incline on a journey of six trams when the rope broke, the barhook at the end failed to hold the journey, and it ran back. Deceased fell between the first two trams and was so badly injured that he died on June 1st.

JENKINS Llewellyn - 1909 - 14/07/1909 – Age 18 - Llay Hall Pony driver, Exors of Late ES Clark, Denbigh. The haulage gang, when starting upbrow from the shunt broke loose, and the trailer behind upset some of the tubs running back, which fatally injured deceased.

JENKINS Morgan - 1905 - 04/10/1905 – Age 66 - Maindy Level Repairer, Ocean Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. On road, cliff, 5 feet by 3 feet by 18 inches thick, fell as deceased was cutting away the side to make room for an arm of a new pair of timber. He had tried to get the stone down but failed. He died in 8 days. No.2 Rhondda seam.

JENKINS Moses - 1903 - 24/03/1903 – Age 17 - Caerau Collier, Norths Navigation Collieries (1889) Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall at face, a fall of coal about a ton weight knocked him against a cog causing death within 10 minutes. It was said to have been spragged. Six feet seam.

JENKINS Moses – 1909 – 22/01/1909 – Age 56 – National No.1 Repairer, United National Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased, on his way out, was passing through a double parting, just as an empty journey was being drawn in at a high speed. The corner of the first empty tram collided with that of the first of some full trams standing on the parting, and set them in motion. He was run over by the last of the full trams which had been only lightly "scotched," and which had evidently been drawn up too near the cross.

JENKINS Noah – 1900 – 23/03/1900 – Age 14 – Cymmer Door boy, Insoles Ltd., Glamorgan. Run over by journey while attending a door on the engine plane.

JENKINS R.R. – 1909 – 27/09/1909 – Age 15 – Ely Collier, Naval Colliery Co. (1897) Ltd., Glamorgan. Twenty eight men were descending. The reversing gear of the winding engine failed to act. The descending cage sped to the bottom and the ascending cage went upwards into the sheaves (which it broke) and then fell back down the pit onto the full cage. Five men in the upper deck were killed instantaneously. Those in the lower cage escaped with horrific injuries. Two died later in hospital. 7 killed 14 injured.

JENKINS Rees – 1900 – 24/10/1900 – Age 24 – Glenavon Collier, Glenavon Rhondda Collieries Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Drowned by an inrush of water from the workings of an old colliery. 5 killed.

JENKINS Robert – 1905 – 13/07/1906 – Age 66 – Celynen Collier, Newport Abercarne Black Vein Steam Coal Co. Ltd., Monmouth. Died suddenly from heart disease on the 17th August. He had met with a slight accident to his great toe when at work at Celynen Colliery on the 24th June. 1905, and it was attempted to connect death with this injury.

JENKINS Samuel – 1904 – 09/09/1904 – Age 47 – Cambrian No.1 Haulier, Cambrian Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased was found by another haulier under a tram of coal. He had evidently been riding on the gun when the little pin jumped up and liberated the horse. The gun would have dropped and so caused deceased to fall.

JENKINS Thomas – 1906 – 10/09/1906 – Age 42 – Basset (metalliferous) Surveyor, Basset Mines Ltd., Cornwall. They were on their way up a stope above the 200 fathom level, when about 100 tons of the hanging wall fell and caused instantaneous death to all three. The hanging wall at this point underlay at about 41 degrees and the rock seems to have been more or less weakened owing to the junction of two lodes. It seems to have given no warning either by working or cracking, and fell with one crash. 3 killed.

JENKINS Thomas - 1907 - 21/01/1907 – Age 22 - Llwyn Trammer, William Watkeys Ltd., Camarthen. He was found severely injured close behind a tram filled with coal which he had been pushing out from a level heading. He was suspected of illegally riding.

JENKINS Thomas - 1909 - 31/07/1909 – Age 53 - Cambrian No.3 Labourer, Cambrian Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased, immediately after lifting a heavy ball of ironstone into a tram, complained of great pain in the chest. He was taken home and died the same afternoon. A post-mortem examination was made, and death was attributed to syncope due to the sudden acute dilation of the heart brought on by exertion. The heart was found to have become fatty.

JENKINS Thomas A. - 1906 - 22/03/1906 – Age 43 - Phoenix Glyncorreg Repairer, Phoenix Merthyr Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Explosion of gas.

JENKINS William - 1900 - 22/06/1900 – Age 38 - Gawr Fechan Repairer, Samuel Llewellyn, Glamorgan. Burned by an explosion of firedamp on entering a stall, not at work, entered to put his tools away. He was using a naked light. Died 30th June. No.2 Rhondda seam.

JENKINS William - 1901 - 25/01/1901 – Age 40 - Darkhill Endeavour Trammer, Phoenix Coal Co., Gloucester. Crushed by a tram, which he attempted to stop at the bottom of a stall road having a gradient of about 1 in 6. The collier was taking the tram down the road with a locket in the wheel which broke or dropped out.

JENKINS William - 1902 - 01/02/1902 – Age 14 - Cwm Collier boy, Crawshay Bros. Cyfartha Ltd., Glamorgan. As the colliers train was being drawn alongside the platform deceased jumped out of the coach, slipped and fell on to the rails between two coaches, the wheel of one passing over his left leg above the ankle. Died the next day.

JENKINS William - 1903 - 28/07/1903 – Age 33 - Meiros Collier, Gas Coal Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased had bored a hole in the door of the seam and charged it with five or six pellets of gelatine dynamite with detonator and safety lines attached. He attempted to fire the charge but did not succeed. Some time after he and his mates are said to have been boring a new hole six or eight inches from the old one when the charge exploded and killed deceased. His mate said on oath at the inquest that they were not unramming the missed charge but were boring a fresh hole so they must have bored the new hole into the old.

JENKINS William - 1908 - 01/12/1908 – Age 23 - Cwmcynon Labourer, Nixons Navigation Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall of side at face coal, 8 feet by 14 inches by 3 feet thick, foil over a steel rail sprag, and crushed deceased against the gob wall. The accident was caused by the pressure forcing the head of the steel rail into the overhanging coal, and is an illustration of the danger of using steel rails as sprags. Six feet seam.

JENKINS William - 1909 - 18/08/1909 – Age 55 - Werfa Collier, Marquis of Bute, Glamorgan. Fall at face cliff, 3 feet 3 inches by 3 feet by 12 to 28 inches thick, fell on him from the face of his rippings. Six feet seam.

JENKINS William E. - 1907 - 30/01/1907 – Age 29 - McLaren Collier, Tredegar Iron and Coal Co. Ltd., Monmouth. Fall of roof at face of Barry work in Ras Las Seam, in consequence of not being properly secured. At least two more props should have been set in the place, even the maximum distance for roof supports under Special Rule 2 was exceeded. Deceased and Henry Thomas, the collier in charge of the Barry work, both seem responsible for the accident but proceedings do not appear to have been taken against Thomas, which I think should have been done. Deceased paid the penalty for his neglect with his life.

JENKINSON H. - 1909 - 07/01/1909 – Age 24 - Aldwarke Main Trammer, John Brown and Co. Ltd., Yorkshire. A bump burst coal from the face, displaced the timber and also caused a fall of roof. He was killed by the coal.

JENKINSON John - 1909 - 25/03/1909 – Age 18 - Monk Bretton Pony driver, Monk Bretton Colliery Co. Ltd., Yorkshire. Found dead between a pony and a tub. It is probable he went in front of the tub to remove an obstruction and became entangled in the trace chains. The pony being startled kicked Jenkinson with fatal results.

JENNINGS Henry - 1901 - 11/10/1901 – Age 62 - South Leicester Rope examiner, South Leicester Colliery Co., Leicestershire. The full tubs, leaving the hauling road, collided with an empty tub throwing it off the rails and causing it to strike the deceased.

JENNINGS John - 1909 - 28/02/1909 – Age 47 - Silverwood Dataler, Dalton Main Collieries Ltd., Yorkshire. A large fall of roof whilst a main haulage road was being enlarged. 3 killed.

JENNINGS Thomas - 1908 - 18/08/1908 – Age 42 - Maypole Contractor, Moss Hall Co., Wigan, Lancashire. Explosion of firedamp and coal dust. 75 killed.

JENNINGS Thomas William - 1907 - 15/11/1907 – Age 18 - Haulage lad, Barrow Hematite Steel Co. Ltd., Yorkshire. Along with others, the deceased men got on to the cage in the No.3 shaft at the Parkgate seam for the purpose of ascending to the surface at the end of their shifts. A horsekeeper was also in the cage to go to the Thorncliffe seam 38 yards below. The cage was therefore lowered to that seam where he got off. At the Thorncliffe landing there is a staging or platform so that the men could get on or off the two decks of the cage without its being moved. The signalling is done from the top part of this staging and the hanger on there is the chargeman; the one at the low part is an assistant and beyond opening and closing the gates protecting the entrance to the shaft, taking off and putting on the chains at the ends of the decks and putting over a flag or flat sheet to cover the space between the floor of the deck of the cage and that of the landing has nothing to do. The flag or flat sheet is fitted with two spikes each 3.5 inches long which fit into holes in the floor of the cage decks and act as anchors to the cage. They are hinged to the floors of the landings and lifted and lowered by means of chains by the hangers-on. On the day in question the hanger-on, on the top part or landing of the staging when the cage came let the horsekeeper get off without dropping the flag or flat sheet, and at the same time shouted to the hanger-on at the bottom landing ‘Don't put the flag down’, and at the same moment signalled for the cage to be taken to the surface. Unfortunately the hanger-on at the bottom landing had lowered the flag and before he could get it up again the cage started and the result was that the cage was held and tilted for a moment or so and the flag flew back. Violent oscillation was thus set up and in ascending the top of the cage collided against the girder under the floor of the Parkgate landing with such force as to damage the cage and with another girder. It became liberated and was taken further up the shaft where it collided with another girder. The engineman then noticed something was wrong and stopped the cage. Seven of the men at one or another of these places were thrown out of the cage and fell to the bottom of the shaft being killed instantly and six others were more or less seriously injured. 7 killed.

JENNINGS William - 1900 - 02/11/1900 – Age 20 - Wheal Kitty (tin) Miner, Wheal Kitty Mine Adventurers, Cornwall. While climbing down the footway watching the empty capstan rope in order to prevent its catching in anything. He fell two or three fathoms and fractured his skull.

JENNISON Richard Samuel - 1902 - 08/02/1902 – Age 16 - Radford Horse driver, Wollaton Colliery Co., Nottinghamshire. Deceased was ascending the shaft, with nine other workmen, when he fell off the cage to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of about 250 yards.

JEPSON John - 1901 - 28/10/1901 – Age 49 - Annesley Stallman, Annesley Colliery Co., Nottinghamshire. Fall of coal. Deceased stood in front of the coal trying to get it down when a portion of it suddenly fell over, before he could get away it caught and crushed him against the pack. He died before reaching the surface.

JEPSON S. - 1900 - 21/12/1900 – Age 40 - North Staveley Collier, Aston Coal Co., Yorkshire. Fall of roof. Died 24th Dec.

JEREMIAH Benjamin - 1907 - 22/01/1907 – Age 38 - Dare Rope splicer, Ocean Coal Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. Deceased and another man were struck above the sides of a double roadway, 13 feet wide between sidewalls. As a normal journey was being hauled in by the tail rope the framing sprang out of the walls without either of the baulks of timber first used on the night of the 20th, although they had withstood the strain of the 20th and 21st, it appears probable that the mortar, used in walling in the baulks had not properly set. The mortar was made with hydraulic lime.

JEREMIAH Joseph - 1906 - 20/01/1906 – Age 59 - Mardy No.2 Cogman Lockets, Merthyr Collieries (1894) Ltd., Glamorgan. Fall of roof on road cliff, 13 feet by 6 feet by 3 feet thick, fell as he was taking out a cog which had one end supported one end of the stone. He was very experienced in taking out timber and it is difficult to understand why he had not found out that the stone had given and taken precautions Four-feet seam.

JEREMIAH William - 1901 - 17/04/1901 – Age 64 - Heolddu Uchaf Manager, Lewis Jenkins, Glamorgan. Fall of roof at face cliff 15 feet by 6 feet by 18 feet thick. Five pairs of timbers discharged. Mynydd-islwyu seam. 2 killed.

JESSOP William – 1909 – 26/03/1909 – Age 56 – Backworth Joiner, Owners of Backworth Colliery, Northumberland. Fell off pillar of underground engine-house.

JESSY Thomas – 1905 – 30/01/1905 – Age 33 – High Hazels Banksman, Waverley Coal Co. Ltd., Yorkshire. Deceased was in charge of the pit top and on night duty at the time of the accident. He took a full tub out of the cage, closed the gate and took the tub to the weighing machine, he then returned to the shaft to put an empty tub into the cage and in doing so opened the wrong gate and pushed the tub in at the side where there was no cage and he and it fell to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of 140 yards. There was a good light and it is difficult to account for his having opened the wrong gate; he must have done it in a moment of forgetfulness.

JEVONS Joseph – 1905 – 13/08/1905 – Age 64 – Baggeridge Wood Labourer, Earl of Dudley, Staffordshire. While assisting to get the crank shaft of a winding engine, weighing 23 tons 15 cwt., into the engine house by means of a gantry to a stretching screw on the chain holding the gantry to the engine house, it broke and the gantry fell on him.

JEWITT James – 1907 – 06/12/1907 – Age 60 – Markham No.1 Dataller, Staveley Coal and Iron Co. Ltd., Derbyshire. A small piece of bind from the roof fell on to his head and caused a flow of blood to a diseased artery at the back of his head causing it to burst. He died on 9th December.

JEWITT Septimus - 1902 - 12/11/1902 – Age 14 - Garesfield Not employed, Consett Iron Co. Ltd., Co.Durham. Died 13th November.

He was taken to Newcastle infirmary and died there next day.

JEWITT William - 1904 - 29/07/1904 – Age 55 - Monk Bretton Collier, Monk Bretton Colliery Co. Ltd., Yorkshire. He was travelling outbye on the engine plane where the empty tubs were put on the endless rope inbye.
