Hi,

One of the reports in the Derbyshire Times, reporting an accident at the Hungerhill pit is
headed  Mine Accident at Hasland.

As the miner concerned was from Chesterfield, not Hasland, the report would appear to
suggest that the Mine was in Hasland.

The following is a connection to the Hasland Village Page - they may be able to assist you
re the mine.  http://www.hasland.me.uk/2.html

Hi,
This site may be interesting to you - healeyhero.co.uk - it's about the history of coal mining and gives fatal accidents in mines throughout the years.  I think this one is yours 30 October 1861 Wingerworth Pit H Prince age 26, fall of roof.  The site owner asks people to get in touch if there are any mistakes.  Its in the section dealing with pits up to 1914.  Or you could google wingerworth pit.

I know this accident is listed on cmhrc.co.uk but I thought you might be interested in the original since many of the extra details are not included in that site.  It always pays to check originals!  The info is very brief and doesn't really add to what you already know but still worth having. 

This is from the Reports of the inspectors of mines for 1861, inspector was John Hedley

Spendlove, thanks for that info, I will investigate!

Liz, yes that is him!  I have contacted that site and asked them to amend his name.  Thanks for the link!

JSHC, I can't access the images, and if I search I can't seem to get any images.  Are you able to copy them here or email them to me?

Thanks to everyone for your help!

Hi going to Chesterfield later this week, have your details, I'll do a quick check in the library, see if he's buried at Hady or Boythorpe, if he isn't there at least you'll have eliminated a couple of places.
