Does anybody know if coal mines kept records and if so can you search them? Still confused over occupations, see previous thread. |

If the mine you are looking for is in Durham the Durham mining museum has a very good site with loads of info including disasters,men killed managers etc.I think it may have some links to other sites re mines in other areas. |

Coal mines probably did keep records but since the start of hte British Coal Compensation Scheme, they have miraculously dissapeared for most of the mines |

Have looked at your occupations thread and cannot say that i have come across that occupation in 6 years of working for the Miners in their compensation claims - I work for one of the solicitors dealing with the claims |

Try googling for the miners unions. They often have records in their archives. |
