Ryan -- Amanda Garraway Roberts responding here. A few years ago we were in touch with each other re: Richardson/Tatters of Whitehaven. I don't recall if I ever set you a description of the Tatters miners from the 1841 colliery listings. I just "found" this forum again and found your messages in my file.

my email is dampnr(at)golden.net

Hi can anyone help me with a query.  A few weeks ago I came across a site called Pitmen - all about miners of Whitehaven.  There was someone on there who was going to help me with some info about my Richardson/tatters links, and their mining history, but I went on the other day and found the site has been taken down!!

Does anyone know what's happened to it or how I am likely to get in touch with someone who may have access to the info.

Cheers

Nadine

Hello Nadine:

The Pitmen.co.uk site was removed as a personal decision -- and a difficult one at that.  While I ran it, the actual domain name and website belonged to another gentleman who was unable to keep up with the technical changes I needed. I am taking a little time off, but do plan to register a new site in the next little while.

I do not have any information about Jonathan Richardson, I only have connections to the Tatters line. If you are interested I can send you some documentation about William Tatters. I had posted on pitmen, the physical descriptions of several Tatters miners as per the 1841 medical survey. Not sure if you copied this to your files at the time, but I can re-send if necessary.
