In case anyone is looking for information on miners/mines in the North of England, the Durham Mining Museum has an excellent website. I have managed to find death details for 3 of my ancestors. There is a wealth of information.

Please can you tell me which counties the site covers and do you have a link you could post?

thanks

Google finds the URL as http://www.dmm.org.uk/mindex.htm

The introduction says "This site covers mining in the Northern part of England i.e. County Durham (DUR), Northumberland (NBL), Cumberland (CUL), Westmorland (WES) and the Ironstone mines of North Yorkshire (NRY). For information on mining in other areas of the country there may be a site listed in our Links section."

That was easy, wasn't it?
