Death of Daniel Harding, 46 - CANNOCK (well spotted Paul)

As I live in Cannock, (Staffordshire - surrounded by Cannock Chase) record of coal mining in this area from 1298 to late 20th century, and I see Daniel's son Robert was a coal miner, so there is a good chance, the family came briefly to work in the mines (may be he had an accident)

There is on the 1901 census for Cannock, a Charles HARDING and his family age 51 - Coal Hewer, born Ranton, (poss. Baunton) Gloucestershire.
