Hej! For lisers interested in coalmining in Nottinghamshire there is a lot of information about persons involved in the industry in the book "The Miners of Nottinghamshire" by Alan R Griffin. The book is out of print but it may be possible to borrow it from a library or buy it from an old book store.
