Can any one help with my search about Charles Ryan a Mine union Delegate
 in Yorkshire some time between 1920s to about 1940.

  I have an invite to attend the opening of the new pit head baths at
  Frickliey colliery issued by Carlton main colliery co. Ltd
    on Saturday 19th March 1938 .
 I also have two group photos that need dating.
 any help would be appreciated .
thanks  Martin
