Dobson Mine Disaster, 1926 - James Marshall and his cousin Thomas Black

About this image

DescriptionOn 3 December this year, it will be 100 years since the DOBSON MINING DISASTER, where 9 men lost their lives. Two of them were my relatives - James Marshall and his cousin Thomas Black, whose wife had just given birth to twins. They were both related to James Ford who lost his life a year earlier in a single mining accident at Dobson.
The other men were Eric Ashton, Robert Hunter, Edward Pardington, Ernest Brammer, Alfred Noakes and James Richards.
I was wondering if there was going to be any commemoration similar to the recent one for Brunner?
