Freeminers, ownership of gales (General)
Researching my grandfathers working life I have found out he was 38 yrs old when he registerd as a freeminer in 1899, and had been working as a hewer at Crump Meadow for 13yrs and I was wondering if he owned any gales
Do records exist which show the names of the owners?
My grandfather`s name George William Meek
