Although I have worked around Thorne, I don't know much of the pit history.
They had a brass band which formed around 1927, but you would expect more people associated with that (about 30 maybe).  Perhaps as you say, the football team could be celebrating a reversal of fortune against another (colliery?) team. Also 1932 was the year they joined the Yorkshire League (football), champions in 1946-7.

I may be teaching you to suck eggs but..... ALWAYS BACK-UP BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES !!

Hello helpful people.

I am looking again at a family I set to one side a while ago for want of better ideas and wonder if anyone out there has covered the same people or if anyone can give me some ideas to work with.

The main character is Thomas Fines. Irish, presumably with a strong accent, and illiterate, his name seems to be recorded with a great variety of spellings before seeming to settle at Fines. Born in Oldcastle, Co meath about 1830, he ends up in Westmorland by 1871, but it is his earlier history I am try to unpick.

Below I have listed details that I believe apply to him and his family that I have ( with help ) found so far. I am open to comments that might rule them out or cement them in, especially if someone has already researched them. Also any additional hints or links are of course welcome.

In 1871 I have located
Thomas Fines 40 Comb Finisher Old Castle Co Meath Ireland
Sarah 35 Nottingham

Catherine 13 Sheffield Yorks

And believe I have track of them from 1881 onwards, it is the earlier dates I am working on.

Potentially this might be his wife to be;

Sarah Brett, lodger, 24, Mat Maker, b. Ireland

Thanks lisadiaz,

It may be 6 years on, but I still haven't followed this one through, but strangely enough I was looking at the manifests only last week wondering how best to get to the US 1910 census details.

The information you state fits pretty well with what we have drawn together with the help above and the Tweedale connection explains the arrival of that name.

Is this part of your own family?  My wife is of Bowden descent.
If you have more info it would be well appreciated.

Electoral Registers

1907/8   Boswell Albert (moved from no. 13)

Brocco Bank (no number listed)
1907/8   Mitchell, Rev. Arthur Fancourt (moved from 19 Endcliffe Rise Road)
1908/9   Mitchell, Rev. Arthur Fancourt

This I think probably nails it as close as I can get * (unless maybe I head over to a newspaper search as I imagine it is likely to be reported as news in the area.)

It would also tie in with the 1905 OS map which shows the church but clearly no vicarage where one now stands, and the appearance in the 1911 census.

Many thanks to everyone for their help.

(* I wonder if I could trouble you for name of the directories so as to reference my notes, I know the 1905 was White's, are these others the same?)
