Lots of information about the mines of Co. Durham, including "In Memoriam", mine owners, disasters and names of the men killed.  Lots of useful information if your family has mining history.

The site address you give is, of course, correct for 'disasters' - ie. more than 5 men killed at one time.
For lesser numbers, eg. an individual death, the details appear on the page for the particular colliery.

Hi Nick,
That site - the Durham Mining Museum - www.dmm.org.uk - has just about everything you would ever need about mining in Co. Durham.
There are also links to other similar sites for other areas, but none as comprehensive as is that one.

Hi Nick,
The site everyone's talking about also deals with various classes of mining managers.  If you go to http://www.dmm.org.uk/certs/index_a.htm you can use the letters along the top of the page to search the index for holders of mining certificates some of them countrywide.  There is also a very enlightening sample examination paper for a mining management certificate on the same site.  It takes some navigating to find the information you seek but it's worth the effort.  As everyone says it's a very good site for ining info.
