Some of you may have gathered that the Westhoughton (Howfen) Local History Group and I are working to put together an online resource with details of the 344 victims of the Pretoria Pit disaster of 21 Dec 1910. We intend it will be on the Westhoughton LAN-OPC site before December. I have just finished a first version of the personal documentation file for the men and boys, and I thought this would be a good time to give public thanks to the multitude of people who have helped us so far - many of course being members of the Bolton and Lancsgen lists. I won't name you all here, but the acknowledgements section of the presentation will be a long one! We are still gathering data, and I'm waiting with some trepidation for what Dan Seddon will tell us he's found in Farnworth library. One general request I'd like to make is to anyone who might be looking for family memorials in graveyards in the South Bolton-Over/Middle/Little Hulton-Walkden area (but not Deane), and come across a Pretoria Pit/Hulton Colliery one, or one that has a male burial with the 21 Dec 1910 death date, then please let us know. I suspect many of the 25 burials we haven't yet found will be in that area. And finally I'd like to give a welcome to Yvonne Woolley, who I know has just joined the Bolton List, and the Howfen Local History Group, and is keen to work on the Pretoria Project. Peter Wood
