my father was a miner,he died at 64yrs.due to pneumoconiosis,I would like to find out which pit he worked at,I imagine it would be in  the local Aldridge/walsall wood . I wonder if anyone has any idea if there are any records,such as record cards etc.held anywhere?
He had a brother,he also went down the pit,he was injured,and was taken to local hospital on a cart(1903),he died from his injuries,he was just a lad.I have a report of the accident from the local paper which I found in our local history centre,it makes grim reading.
apparently pit records are quite difficult to locate,or don,t even exist! so I don,t hold out much hope,but thought I would give it a go!  thanks,

hi, just checking my info,unfortunately,it appears our Mary-ann Lawton,are  not  the same person.
My Mary-ann was previously Mary-ann Jacombs,and she did marry in 1855,but to John Lawton.
Good luck with your researching :-[
