Daniel Roberts
| Age: | 40 |
| Died: | 30th Sep 1889 |
| Accident: | 30th Sep 1889 |
| Year Born: | abt. 1849 |
| Colliery: | Votty and Bowydd (Slate) |
| Company: | |
| Occupation: | Miner |
| Notes: | He got over a fence 3 feet high at the entrance of a disused level 45 feet long, through a pillar between two underground chambers, and fell over a precipice 50 feet deep at the other end of the level. It is probable that he went into this level to relieve his bowels, and possibly put out his candle for fear of being discovered in the act of breaking the rules. He had only just left the surface a few minutes before, and there was no necessity for his going where he did, for he was in perfect health and not suffering from diarrhoea |
