« on: Monday 04 July 05 20:41 BST (UK) »
Are there any records/maps of where all the coal mines in England in the early 1800's were located?  As yet I only have a name - James Crumbie - appearing as the father of the groom (George Crumbie) on a marriage certificate.  The marriage was in 1844 by which time James may already have died.  George was born in 1813 & I am in the process of tracing his place of birth which may of course help.  Jame's profession was collier.  From other links I think he may have originated from the Doncaster area.  Any pointers gratefully received.
Crumbie (Crumby/Crombie/Cromie) - Wilts, London, Northumberland, Fife
Stark & Cammann - Middxnt
Davenport, Bromley - Wilts, Glous
Traynor - Ireland, Hull, Kent
Taylor - Kent
Blaskiewicz / Blaszkiewicz - Radom, Poland
Drews - Gdansk (Danzig), Poland

One source of information re map and documentation could be the National Coalming Museum . . it lists having a library.

Try the Durham mining museum site or the Haig Mining Museum site

It'll also give lots of details of disasters especially in Cumbria (Haig) as well as other info
