Hi Pat, I lived in the same street (Woodside Avenue)seaton Delaval, as Robert Boon whose Father was Called Abel or Able, at Wallace Terrace, Seaton Terrace, Seaton Delaval.
I am certain that Abel Boon worked underground at Seghill Pit, as when I was young, about 20, 40 years ago now I was working as an Electrician at Burradon pit and we accidentally broke through into old workings at Seghill which was a neighboring pit to ours, whilst rummaging around we came across an old Axe which was marked with the name Abel Boon!!,   I have often wished I had kept it .
Old Abel and Robert his son are now dead but Robert did have a young son who will probably be in his late 40s now.  regards malcolm.
