Hi all
I'm trying to find the final resting place of my GGGranddad. His name is Emmerson JACKSON born about 1843. He died on 7th November 1882 in a mining accident at Medomsley Colliery. He was living at Bradley Cottages at the time of his death.
I have been in contact with various agencies including Durham Mining Museum and no one seems to be able to help. Is it possible that because the accident was under ground they may well of left him there if it was to dangerous to recover his body? He was killed by "fall of stone" .
I would be grateful for any help Martin.
