Just looked on the Durham Mining Museum website

www.dmm.org.uk/colliery

Lintz Colliery was near Burnopfield and Tanfield was in the ecclesiastical parish of Burnopfiled

Thank you both, ladies. The William HR Tones was the one I was after. I now have who his parents were atlast lol. Thank for the colliery link too. I had read that there were a lot of mines in the area. Maybe that is why William came to the Westcoast of the South Island of NZ, looking for work in the mines. Your help has been much appreciated :-)
