Hello All , how do i find a relation of my wife who was a miner in shropshire around the Dawley area ,on the 1901 census he is a retired miner aged 70 ,i know there were dozens of mines around the Madeley and Dawley areas ,one clue that i do have is that he lived in Dark Lane ,now the only area that i can see on old maps is in the area of Hollinswood in fact there is a pit called dark lane ,the marriage certificate says they were married in Wellington and both came from Coalpit Bank , now where was Coalpit Bank ,some folk reckon it is now named Ketley Bank , but im not convinced , your help would be much appreciated .Signalman

Dark Lane was a small mining community that was cleared to make way for Telford Town Centre.
