Forest of Dean Pits - Records of Miners (General)

by preston , Monday, August 06, 2007, 05:10 (6321 days ago)

Are there any records left of who worked in which mine in the FOD?

I'm looking for info re my gg grandfather, Maynard Porter, son of Arabella Yemm and John Porter. He lived on Plump Hill and was a miner. Is there any chance of finding out which pit he worked in, through employee records/accident/illness lists?
Before the 1901 census he and his family moved to Chilvers Coton, near to Nuneaton where his occupation is given as
Coal Miner.

Any leads appreciated
