John Farrow was my grandad though I never knew him. The information you have found agrees with the small amount of facts I have found about him. I am fascinated that I have family I have never known. Can anyone tell me what his life was like, where he lived, what happened at Ollerton pit.

Hi, I'm also the grandchild of John Farrow ( John Marshall Charles Henry Farrow ) born September 1926. Died October 1962 but at Mansfield Colliery, not Ollerton. The family lived in Ollerton which might be where the confusion comes from. Please feel free contact me.
