I am researching my grandfather Lewis Williams born 1863. In the 1901 census he lives in Fair View, Cymau. He is listed as colliery manager, but the next word is partly struck through by the enumerator and I cannot recognise it - help please. I want to know which colliery he was at. He later became the manager of Point of Ayr.
looks like Min%%llan?

On the Historical Directories site , in the Trades Directories for Wales 1901 it is, Alyn Bank Coliiery, Padeswood. Thomas Parry & Co. Proprieters, Chester St. As it on the Mold pages, the I supose it will be Chester St. Mold. What do you think
