Hello, I discovered that my 2nd Great~Grandfather, Evan EVANS, who was born about 1824 in Llandilo, Caernarvonshire, Wales, died 25 Apr 1884 at Sharlston Collieries, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England in a mining roof collapse. His wife was Margaret JONES. I descend from their daughter Hannah, a.k.a. "Annie" Evans. Their ch. included: Thomas; Margaret; Badena: Hannah who m.

Thanks Neil,

Its great to have you join us. Some of the Durham pages have green locks, Let me know when you want access to them and I will add you to the trusted list. Let me know if there is anything else you need. We have been using https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Levant_Tin_Mine_Disaster_1919 as a rough guide to the page format, but there are other's too that you can look at. I think the England Mining Categories are more or less OK. Susie did a lot of work on those. Regards Joan

Thanks Joan - I have sent you a few requests for green locked pages that need updating to the new format.

Neil
