Staffordshire / Mining Accident
« on: Sunday 15 June 25 22:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

one of my relatives, Charlotte Doleman, was married very briefly in 1853 to George Roe b.1832 in Staffordshire. He died in the same year in a mining accident at Herberts Park Colliery, Darlaston. The death certificate says he fell down the pit with the scaffold falling on top of him but I am trying to confirm this is the correct person as his address is not mentioned in the death certificate and only the coroner is mentioned as informant - Charlotte remarried in 1855 as a widow.

I wondered if this may have been recorded in a newspaper at all?

Thanks, Luke

Thank you once again Cas. The person with the family tree shares a little of DNA with me it would seem so thats a good possibility - I've messaged her. The death certificate is well worth me looking into.

Thanks again, Luke

Cas,

some wonderful gems here. The baptism for Mark & Anne is correct. Ellen Duffy is the sister of Abraham Ent so thats certain too.

I'll research to confirm the other things but this is all really great.

Thank you and thank you all!

Rosie, I have also bought the birth certificates for Jennie and Agnes. Jennie is correct, she was born at another family address. I need to look further into Agnes' as it doesnt yet fit as easily.

As far as the census goes in 1921, it mentions 6 children under 16, Abraham is over 16 at the time so he wouldnt count. That would leave one more child unaccounted for.

Thank you Rosie,

I have bought the birth certificates for Jennie and Agnes. Jennie was born at a family home so she is correct. Agnes is more complicated so I'll need to do more digging to confirm things.

As for the 1921 Census, it mentions 6 children under 16 but the eldest child is aged 19 so there must be another missing child somewhere.

Thanks, Luke
