The map on www.old-maps.co.uk shows coal pits very close to the farm. They would be the early type of pit, small, shallow and short-lived, worked by just a handful of people. The family papers of the local major landowner might have more information. |

It would be brilliant to find our miner ancestors mentioned personally in the records, but unless they perished in a spectacular way, sadly is does seem difficult. |

Adam, sometimes it says on the census under the Occupation section however many acres they had. We have had 60 and 120 acres different relatives thoug. And the farm where they worked is still there. lthough it is a listed building. |
