[Barbara.H]

welcome to Lancashire Pauline 

another site you could try is Wiganworld www.wiganworld.co.uk

Its a brilliant site for that area. I typed Mining Disaster into their search and this was the first one that came up, loss of 76 lives at the Maypole Colliery in 1908:

Just signed up to rootschat so was not able to join the conversation when it was live last year.  If you didn't get an answer at the time, the following is possibly what you want.
Pewfall Colliery
Accident 2 July 1906
Died 4 July 1906
living at 15 Station Road, Garswood.
I have copy of death certificate.

I'll see what other info I have that might be of interest to you.
