Clifton Hall Colliery Disaster 1885

[Friendly farmer]

I have only just discovered roots chat whilst looking up clifton hall colliery disaster, and realise your posting was a long time ago.
Two  of my relatives died, but  although there is not a William Thomas listed,there is a Thomas Williams,though I am sure you will have found this out by now.
However, William Thomas was the father of Emma Thomas,who was my grandmother's mother.

The Thomas Williams who died at Clifton Hall was only 19.

There is a William Thomas aged 49 who died in the same area in the same quarter, but a little later. None of the others on the same page of death registrations are in the casualty list.

It's possible that he died from injuries received, with his death occurring after the inquest, but the death certificate would clear that up.
