Please can anyone advise if I can find a Coroners inquest that took place on 15th June 1872 (Coroners name was Fred Price) or newspaper report. It refers to an accident in a coal mine on 13th June 1872 at Wheat Sheaf Colliery Pendlebury Salford Lancashire, that killed William Hoolin age 30. Thank you Pam
