Thank you for that link Neil

I just found a Grt Grt Uncle was killed in the mines at Fence, Rotherham in 1862. I knew he had died in 1862 but hadn't got a death certificate....presumed a childhood disease.

He was "crushed by corves in mine" and bless....he was only just 12 years old

Thanks again.....brilliant site

Hello Neil, many thanks for posting that brilliant link. In Northumberland and Durham areas, they had a very rich History with Miners, and the hard work they had to undergo.
And its important that future generations, learn about that side of life.

Durham City hosts a Miners Gala Day, or Big Meeting as some call it every year in July. Its one of those great family events, for all ages. You have the brilliant Brass Bands, a multitude of Miners Banners and one great Parade through Durham City....I try to get there every year.

I hope you and others on site, find the link below of help with Researching Miners History and Heritage.
