DD Thank you for your reply. Exactly what I needed. I've just found a site 'UK Mining Disasters 1850' which records Matthew Tingle death. It makes one think. I'll obtain Amelia Tingle's death certificate. Would you like a copy? BB

Could you remind me who was held responsible for Matthew Tingle's death?

No person was held legally responsible for the death of Matthew Tingle. The inspector of mines identified insufficient ventilation (only one shaft which collapsed)at the Middle Duffryn as a significant factor. Lack of awareness of the relative explosive nature of the Middle Duffryn seam being worked was another factor. Thomas Powell, the mine owner, and his agents acknowledged some responsibility for the initial accident. Charles Henry Ackerley, a renowned lunatic, was charged with manslaughter for having visited the Tingle household a week following the accident and having through violent manipulation of Matthew's entire body caused or at least hastened,in the opinion of the attending physician, the death which occurred soon afterwards. Mr.Ackerley was found not guilty, a decision which resulted in international criticism at the time and ever since.

Hello Tony,\
I am the author of Finding Amelia which I was once posting on Wordpress. This is still a work in progress and I am pleased to collaborate with Amelia's descendants and share findings.

See also TINGLE and BRADLEY Littledean - N. Hunt, 2010-07-20 plus thread Amelia Morgan(nee Bradley)is one of my grandmothers. She later married Matthew Tingle. Amelia's story is a very sad one.

Hi Tony, and a belated welcome to the forum.
I'm not certain but I suspect this old post might relate to the story and that dead link, I think you need to contact# Donna, who posted,
"The grand-daughter Elizabeth's mother was Amelia nee Bradley formerly Morgan of Ruardean. My 4th cousin and I will be presenting Amelia's story to the GFHS at their September meeting."

See this prior thread http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=32521
# if you click on Donna's username you can send a direct email to her inbox, hopefully she'll see that asap. She hasn't visited this forum since last summer so she may not see this post so soon, if at all.

Hope this helps.

I think Amelia's death certificate will state that she died in the workhouse, probably Bedwelty. There will be a talk about her later this year in Gls.
