A query from Canada - could just as easily fitted in the Family History topice.

"I am looking into our family history.

We cannot find any details/information of our Grandfather who was named STRAW and worked/was killed in the Shipley Collery early in the 20th Century we believe.

He lived in Cotmanhay, Ilkeston and had a large family of girls, my mother, Martha, the youngest. We would love to find some information on this family member, we all live overseas."

I have asked the enquirer to try and give us a bit more information (e.g. first name, rough date, etc.)
