My Coal Mining Ancestors, Between 1840 and 1900 were working in the Forest Mines and then moving to South Wales, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire Coalmines and sometimes back to the Forest of Dean again. Between 1900 and 1925 I have 6 Families Emigrating to New Zealand to work in the Mines and 2 worked on the Rumeru Spiral Railway.

George Smith who started work in the Speech House Mine Moved to New Zealand in 1905 as a Miner and went on to become Mayor of Huntly. (Details of Emigration on this Site).
