DUNN William - 1901 - 26/06/1901 – Age 28 - Meiros Fireman, Gas Coal Collieries Ltd., Glamorgan. Burned by an explosion of firedamp which was being cleared out of two stalls.

DUNN William - 1902 - 14/07/1902 – Age 36 - Horden Sinker. Horden Collieries Ltd., Co.Durham. They were being lowered in a kibble to ascertain the level of the water. A pulsometer pump was drowned and when the steam was turned on to it the joint next to the pump was blown and the steam escaping into the water made it boiling hot. These men, owing to the signal to stop not being heard, were lowered into this water and severely scalded. Thomas died on the 16th and Dunn on the 18th inst.

DUNN William - 1906 - 21/04/1906 – Age 40 - Hamsteels Hewer. Trustees of late J Johnson, Co.Durham. Death due to exhaustion following upon diarrhoea, coupled with fatty degeneration of the heart.

DUNN William - 1909 - 20/09/1909 – Age 36 - Black Boy Shifter. Bolckow Vaughan and Co., Co.Durham. The timbering in a main engine plane was being raised throughout. The ends of the running baulks, across the engine plane at a refuge hole, had been set on punch props standing on a crossing baulk at the mouth of the refuge hole. The management was not satisfactory to the Master Shifter and he ordered this man and his marrow to raise the crossing baulk high enough to take the ends of the running baulks and so to do away with the punch props. When Dunn was making a hole in the floor to set a prop under one of the running baulks, the side stone above the refuge hole came over and knocked the crossing baulk and punch props out; this let the running baulks and the stone above them, down on to him. He died the following day from shock. It is very likely that the original timbering had loosened the side stone, but it is to be regretted that the crossing baulk was not put in directly beneath the running baulks in the first instance; the punch props ought not to have been used or needed.

DUNNE H.S. - 1909 - 26/10/1909 – Age 17 - Gelli Steam Collier, Cory Bros. and Co. Ltd., Glamorgan. A tram of coal was being pulled up the steep stall in which deceased worked when the chain broke, and the tram ran over deceased, who was in the act of attaching the barhock. He died in four days.

DUNSTAN R. - 1907 - 12/04/1907 – Age 46 - Basset, Tin Miner. Basset Mines Ltd., Cornwall. Through his omission to signal to the surface, that he was about to put trams on the cage at the 260-fathom level of Marrieit’s Shaft, the cage was drawn up without a signal in accordance with practice before the trams were properly hitched, and they fell out on to him.
