Hello, this information has been very helpful.  Thomas Legg and Elizabeth Wanless are my great great grandparents.  Elizabeth was married to Winship Jaques with 3 children when the mine disaster happened. This is the info I have: Isabella JAQUES was born on 25 Nov 1858. Ann JAQUES was born on 13 Jul 1859.  Elizabeth JAQUES was born on 25 Nov 1860.  Elizabeth then married Thomas in 1865 and they had 6 children, one being another Isabella in 1871.  So I am not sure what happened to the first 3 children?  The second Isabella is my great grandmother, she married Joseph Hodgson, and their son Robert is my grandfather who moved to BC Canada during the Great Depression.  (His mother Isabella didn't want her son to work in the coal mines). Robert loved the outdoors and his job during the depression was to make trails on Forbidden Plateau near Comox on Vancouver Island.  That is where he met his wife Agnes Revie, and had their daughter Evelyn (my mom).  If anyone has corrections or additional info I would be appreciative.
