Dear Joanne,
Try looking at Blantyre Pit disaster in 22nd Oct 1877, this will give better results. WWW.dmm2.org.uk/uknames/u1877-01htm gives all the names involved. John and James McFadyen were both killed in this disaster. Helen Buchan married John McFadyen, he was killed then she married John Hoggan on 14 September 1883. Went on to have 11 children. We are still trying to work out where the Stonebanks came into things. John Hoggan was married to a Helen Grant in 1880 and had two children to her before Helen Buchan in 1883.
John Hoggan is my grandfather. regards Bonar
