Brierley Wood Colliery, Chesterfield, MOSLEY

[martin mosley]

Does anyone have any information about the Brierley wood colliery near Chesterfield, which I belive to have been in the ownership of the MOSLEY family around the end of the 19th century.

Also Charles MOSLEY, born 28 Nov 1856, married Harriett and had at least three children. I'm looking for the family name of Harriett, and for news of any of Charles' brothers and sisters? Any help very much appreciated.

Hi,
Could very well be, but I'm not sure whether he was born there or in Co Durham? I was hoping wih the dat it may be easier ti identify him for sure. Particularly if I can find brothers and sisters. Many thanks. Martin

Hello, again. I can't find any evidence of a Charles Mosley from Durham with a wife called Harriet. Anyway, Dronfield registers in Chesterfield and in 1891 Charles is living next door to his brother John, who is an Under Manager at a Colliery. Pity it doesn't name it.

So, unless you stop me mid-flight I am going to post the details.

How are you - still enjoying the good life over there?

Regards, Tricia
