First indications are not good-I have been searching Leeds Mercury on 19th century British Newspapers available from Gail engage learning, which you can join from Perth at Lancashire Libraries and have'nt found anything about the mine disaster. I will try the local newspapers at the library later.
Was it a coal mine disaster or something else?

Sally,
Glad you like the reply. If you look at the 1786 map you can see the names of the people who owned the fields.
Pert Tiger: What is this coal disaster web site? I have found some info online about coal mining disasters but no mention of one in Rothwell in 1844.
Can you supply details please?
Tom

Just a thought, though, it rather depends on where he died he may have been buried in Hunslet, it was the nearest church yard for some of that area in Rothwell.

I took a look in the graveyard of Rothwell Holy Trinity this afternoon, and you can see that there are a few weeds around, but we may have got lucky, not Charles, but his daughter, his wife and her second husband, Joseph Ward.
This is the inscription:
In Memory of Sarah Hannah daughter of Charles & Mary Sidebottom, of Rothwell who died April 17th, 1875 aged 14 years.
"I was made unto my parents dear,
A Flower sweet and good,
But death you see has called on me,
And plucked me in the bud."
Also of Joseph Ward of Carlton who died March 22nd, 1893 aged 68 years
Also Mary Ward, wife of the above who died April 28th, 1906 aged 76 years.
"Her end was peace"
There is a further inscription which reads: Joseph Ward, Carlton owner.
Sarah Hannah is aged 1 on the 1861 census.
Photographs enclosed, I can all of them to you if you want, by E-mail of course.
There is another Sidebottom in the graveyard, a Christopher Sidebottom, who was born in 1876, in Hunslet who married Rachel Jackson in 1899, their sons Ernest and George, but as they are deaths of less than 50 years ago I have not included them.
There is still no mention of the roof fall in the Leeds Mercury. I am sure that Town Pay means Parish Relief, details may be in West Yorkshire Archives in Leeds. Would you like me to make some enquiries for you?
It's also possible that at the time of Charles's death, the family were not able to afford a stone to be erected, so that is why there is no stone or inscription.
The stone that is there is very much on its side-I have cleared up the grave site for you.

J Delver,
Your contact must be a real hero, that must have been a really difficult task to record those Mi's in that weedy graveyard, where so many of the stones have been broken, and under piles of vegetation. There is a new grave in the graveyard, put there in 2009, so I wonder if Leeds City Council are re-using the graveyard.
It would be useful for me to contact your contact.
Tom

Perth,
I had a look in the local newspapers for the day and so far no mention of the roof fall, the inquest, or the incident at all. Newspapers consulted, Leeds Mercury & Leeds Intelligenser.
However there some other newspapers that were published in the Wakefield area, so I will have a look there.
I did see the burial of a Hannah Sidebottom on June 18th, 1880, aged 5 years, from Carlton.
Charles Sidebottom was buried as you say 11-November, 1859 at Rothwell church, the service conducted by John Barkston, vicar. (Record 1363) Holy Trinity church burials on fiche, Leeds Library.
Mary Ellen Sidebottom was baptised at Holy Trinity on 13 08 1848, living at Rothwell, her father a miner, and on June 8th, 1851, Samuel was baptised, his father a miner, living in Leeds.
If you want the others let me know and I will take a look.
I looked for the marriage of Charles and Mary ward which I see on Free BMD was December qtr of 1847, but which church, not Rothwell.
