Fife Herald look up please
« on: Thursday 29 March 18 10:18 BST (UK) »
RE: John and James BEVERIDGE
FIFE HERALD, THURS JUNE 10, 1841 - PAGE 3
I would like to know the ending of a newspaper item which reads, in part:

..."pits in this neighborhood belonging to Sir Philip Durham...as two of them, JAMES and JOHN BEVERIDGE, brothers, were ascending a pit the rope broke and the men were precipitated downwards..."

This is all I can read without paying for a subscription; talk about a "cliffhanger!"
(BTW, JOHN is my 3rd great-grandfather)
Thank you to anyone that could help!

Unfortunately, I already used the three free pages on accident for pages I didn't want...clumsy fingers.

They were OK  :)

Fortunately they had not got far up when this happened and although one of them was pretty severely hurt by the falling of some of the coal on them, neither has been so as will keep them long off work
