Hi
    yes I have visted that site. And found his death details was just curious about wether the mine was still there. It seems that when he died all is family disappeared cannot find them on any census but 1841. many thanks Sharon

Hello Sharon

Do you have some other names in the family ?
I only see one Abiathar on the 1841 census, he was born abt 1829
so would be only 14 or 15 in 1843. { pretty young to have children }

Bob
