	Hi Glynis Try www.cmhrc.pwp.blueyonder(.)co(.)uk - remove the dots obviously. This is the database of Uk Mining Deaths & Disasters and also has lots of other links. Also, the Hall Genealogy website at www.rmhh(.)co(.)uk is a website for people researching the HALL family name but if you go into the Research section at the top, there are loads of mining links. Hope this helps Sam
