Are there lists of workers who worked in Collieries? My ancestors worked in one of the Deny Collieries and I wondered if any records existed?

Would that be in Northern Ireland?

If so maybe GRONI or PRONI would be worth looking at?

Google doesn't recognise "Deny Colliery"?

Sorry everyone it is 'Denby' Colliery. But I think there are two in Denby. My ancestors lived at Smithy Houses. $:-\$

"Denby (Drury - Lowe) colliery (North Derbyshire) sunk 1839 - 1842 by Robert Holden was closed in February 1968 after 126 years.
Located at Smithy Houses to the north west of Denby village."
