Yes, David we have him. Although I was a little confused at first because the pit is down as Arthur & Edward (Waterloo), and the record called him Edward rather than Edwin. As both you and Slowhands refer to him as the latter, I will pass this on before we have the books printed!

I expect you already know the cause of death was a broken neck due to a fall of coal.

Checking back on my own research contibution to the project, I discovered we also recorded non-fatal accidents, so I guess there's quite a lot more information waiting to be used in various articles etc!
