Hello CherieLamb,

Welcome to Rootschat   

Not sure what information you have or want but a previous poster some years ago was wanting to know about the McDonald mine.

The link below leads to the document held @ Wellington Archives relating to the Coroner's inquest. A look up by a Rootschatter could be requested.

Hi
Not at home at the moment. There is a good museum at Huntly which has extensive coverage of Huntly's mining history. Perhaps the volunteers there could.help you.

Hi Cherie,

As you have traced back to Peter Lamb, is the obituary above about your ancestor??
