Am looking for info on the location of the coalpit where my great-grandfather died. His obit from the Dalkeith Advertiser,21 Nov 1878, states:A MINER LOST IN A PIT."on Wednesday forenoon,the roadsman at No.11 pit of the Bonhar Coal Co. at Niddrie, while goimg on his rounds,noticed that a man named James Brown as not at his post. He observed that there was a hole in the floor, and at once suspected he had fallen through it into an old working. Operations were at oonce begun, but several days elapsed before the body was found." Further info says that James Brown died from injuries recieved at the No.11 Woolnet Colliery. His death was registered by his brother 'Neil' in the district of 'Newton' in November 1878. Also would appreciate any news of relatives of this man whose life was taken at the early age of 35, leaving a widow with several children.
