	Also on Records This was in my local paper tonight so I thought I'd share it here. Ideal for anyone with mining ancestors. the site has a searchable database of over 164,000 recorded mining accidents and deaths. www.cmhrc.co.uk

	I've been having a read of some of the reports & some of them are heartbreaking. All those little children down the mines. One of the reports details the tragic deaths of 26 children who were stuck underground following heavy rain & they drowned. Really sad.
