Looking for some help in finding information on George Thomson Jack death (mentioned in this thread). I am helping a friend with their family tree.
I have his death certificate from SP on 5th February 1917 from accidental injuries at Glencleland Colliery. I can't find any other information about the accident. I would really appreciate any help at all.
I have also downloaded George's brother's death certificate from SP in 1913. Death at same colliery. Extract from Scottish mining site.
15 & 16 July 1913
Fatal Colliery Accidents - A fatal accident occurred yesterday at Gateside colliery, Cambuslang, which is owned by the Flemington Coal Company (Limited.) A miner named James Morton (40). 56 Park Street, Cambuslang, was engaged working with another miner at a ten-ton coal-cutting machine when he was caught in the machine, which is driven by electric current, and was killed. While James Hill Jack was at work in Messrs Kerr & Mitchell's Glencleland colliery a dislodged piece of rock fell upon him from the roof. He was removed to the pit bank, where he died. [Scotsman 18 July 1913]
NB James Hill Jacks death was registered as due to heart failure following accident
