The death certificate for James arrived this morning. The James Cowmeadow killed falling down a mine in Parkend fits with the FOD parish registers as having been buried in Ruardean in December 1838. The age given is 20 which fits with the birth of James and Mary Cowmeadow's son James in early 1818 but, unfortunately, there is no reference to family on the certificate.

Thanks to Jefff for his reference to the newspaper site. I quick glance through told me that the above James's niece, Emma, daughter of sister Eliza, was a known prostitute. Nothing to add.
