died in Hunger Hill coal pit, where would he be buried?

Hi,
Made it to Chesterfield today, - sorry I can't find him on the registers for Spital Cem.  Boythorpe didn't open till 1919, have you managed to find him on the 1871 census, a Chesterfield address may help a bit.  Staveley and Brimington cems also open in relevant times  I'll keep him in my book, you never know where and when these people will turn up!

Thank you for that Liz!  Sorry to hear you have been unwell, I hope you are feeling better now.

He won't be anywhere on the 1871 census I am afraid as he died in 1861. 

I wish the death certificate detailed where he was buried.  Old Australian death certificates do, it makes things so much easier.

OOps, sorry that should be 1861 census, slip of the finger and never noticed.

Lol! Yes I have him in 1861 - the family were in Lancashire, the Wigan area. He must have gone to the mine in Derbyshire quite soon after.
