Hawarden Mining Accident 1881

[Roy Holmes]

I am looking for anyone who can shed any more light on a mining accident that happened at Hawarden Colliery, Buckley, Flint on Wednesday 4th May 1881 and reported in the Wrexham Advertiser on Saturday 14th May 1881. The unfortunate person who was killed was my great great grandfather Thomas Seaman born in Hawarden on 1st November 1810. I have some brief details of the accident but would like to find out more if anybody can point me in the right direction. I gather my great great uncle was a blacksmith and was descending with a "horseman" at the time of the accident, so I am assuming he was going to look after some of the pit ponies. Would appreciate any help, especially with any inquest information.
Regards
Roy
