Somerset Completed Lookup Requests / Urch family Publow/ Pensford
« on: Thursday 01 June 06 16:30 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I am researching the Urch family from around the Publow/ Pensford area. The only relatives I have got so far is a Winifred Elsie Urch, who was born 23rd January 1907. Her mother was called Lydia, and I think she appears on the 1901 census.
From my limited information I know that Winifred's father was a miner in the local coal mines and that he died when the lift cable, that was pulling him back to the surface, snapped, releasing the lift where it plummeted to the bottom of the shaft and crushed everyone inside of it. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any more information on the Urch family around the Pensford/Publow area.
