Mine location (General)

by Dewey, (6783 days ago)

On Sept 29, 1839 my gr gr grandfather Emanuel Yemm applied for registration as a Freeminer. I have a copy of the application which reads in part " I have worked a year and a day in a coal mine called Nofold". Does anyone know where that mine would have been?
Thank you, Dewey

Slowhands,
Thank you very much. Since Emanuel lived on Harry Hill that location sounds right. dewey
