Thank you Softly Softly.
John Provan who was married to Elisabeth Clarkson, died in the Briggend Colliery in Elderslie in 1863 aged just 32. It was an Ironstone mine, a rock fell on him, knocking him off the scaffolding and he fell down the pit shaft.
She re-married in 1864 to Edward McArthur, my 2nd Great Grandfather.
