Many thanks millymcp for,first of all posting the sad details of,at the risk of repeating myself yet again,the terrible price that was paid.Yes I do indeed have Lovatt family that lived in Audley,although I have to admit that I am a bit stuck in finding a link to your Elisha.Apparently he looks as if he was the Grandson of a John Lovatt born in c 1807.The only one on the IGI anywhere near was one born in Audley in 1807,and the only Parent given is a Hannah.You may view more details of my Lovatt family on my Webpage,the password for which is rhosymedre.

Hi Prue
I will have a look around the headstones to see if there is one for Thomas Simms/Sims
and trying to find what newspaper covered this death is anyones guess, failing that it will have to be the death cert.

Not sure which paper this came from. My grandmother had this clipping, here in Canada, for many years. John (Jack) Sherratt was my grandfather's brother. His death date was December 31, 1938.

Hi Alf,
I have received the death certificate of Thomas Simms/Sims. I think it is probably my Sims. Details are from W. Harding Coroner for North Staffordshire. 12 April 1866,
Jackfield Colliery, By an explosion of fire-damp.
I shall now Google to find more information about Jackfield Colliery.
Regards,
Prue.

My Great Grandfathers younger brother, Frederick William Cotton (known as William) also died in the Talke o'the Hill explosion, Dec 1866.
He is buried Christ Church, Alsager (his home parish)
He was only 13 years old. Its so sad.
I know lots of people who are currently moaning about how hard times are at the moment, but I don't think they realise just how lucky they really are.
Sueky

William James HARRIS died in Hammerwich Hospital on the 5th Feb 1925. Five months after he was injured in an accident on 27th September 1924 at the no. 2 Pit of the Coppice Collery. His right thigh had to be amputated. An inquest was held on the 10th Feb 1925.
Can anyone advise me where to find details of what happened? Would a report of the inquest be in a local newspaper? If so, which paper and where am I likely to find a copy? Are any of the local newspaper archives on-line?
I live in south Bucks and am not familiar with the Hammerwich area. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I recently posted a similar request on the Staffordshire Resources page.
