If I find any connection on ancestry I will let you know.  A lot of my ancestors came from Silkstone.  I am also descended from Cooper, Clegg, Mellor, Padgetts and more.

I am a descendant of William Lamb the father of George Lamb who drowned in the pit aged 8.  George was my great great Uncle and his father William Lamb my great great great granddad.  It saddens me that my family went through this.  You can read more in a book called Children of the dark.
