James MEREDITH mine accident in Bilson Colliery (General)

We have been researching my husbands family for some time now and one of his branches hails from Little Deans, Forest of Dean.
On receiving the death certificate for James Meredith (GGGGrandfather), who died in 1840, we discovered that he died in a mine accident in Bilson Colliery.
I have searched around different sites and can find no accident or disaster that occured in this pit in that year.
We would be most appreciative if anyone could help us in this matter.
Best regards
Wee Ann
