I have the death certificate for Charles Edward Coe. He was killed on the 11 March 1930 at Parkgate Seam,
Orgrave Colliery. Rotherham. An inquest was held on 12th March. I don't think this was a mining disaster as I cannot find any reference to it, just one poor soul killed by a 'fall of stone'.
I wondered if there were any newspaper reports regarding his death or a funeral?
I have tried searching the British Library newspaper collection and using Google but have not come up with anything. I believe inquest information is closed for 75 years so there may be a chance that this would now be available and I suspect Sheffield Archives might hold something but sadly I cannot get there.
Does anyone have any local knowledge or access to newspapers that might fill in some details please?
