Keith I was interested by your comments about the name Monks (no this isn't a family history enquirey he said factiously!!) The name Boult-Monks appears in connection with Bristol coal mining suggesting a link between the Boult family and the Monks family. Monks is a name that appears in connection with the last workings of the Yate Colliery (1887/8) - I can't recall without my file whether it is the owner or manager but I will check. It would be interesting to know if there is a connection.
