I have a report from 1821 of the Grove Land Colliery being in "Tipton Rowley Regis". Unfortunately Tipton and Rowley Regis are about 5 miles apart, with Dudley and Oldbury inbetween, so that doesn't narrow it down geographically.
A Joseph Sheldon was killed then in a similar incident.
Newspaper reports of accidents involving only one man are not wonderfully likely to be covered outside the area, though there was a tendency to copy verbatim reports from other papers where the editor thought they might be of interest. The 1821 event made it to the Manchester Guardian.
Unfortunately, because there was only one casualty, and such events were, unfortunately, very common, three lines in a local paper would be the "going rate" at that time.
Added:
Just found another incident in 1864 which refers to Horseley Heath as the location of the colliery.
