  • Notes 
    • Death certificate of Matthew Tudor Purnell.
      He died 25 November 1921 aged 41 at 44 Thomas Street, Merthyr Tydfil, from a wound in the throat self inflicted. The place he died was not his home address which was 34 Gresham Place, Treharris, and he is described as formerly colliery labourer. Inquest was held on 28 November 1921 by R J Rhy s, Merthyr Coroner. The death was registered on 30 November 1921. The re is no mention of his widow but that is probably because the death was notified by the Coroner rather than a relative.
