Note: Winspear* and Nixon* (1886), Humphries* and Livery* (1889), and Malpass* (1897) were judged to have died from natural causes.

An unnamed person was run over by a locomotive at Ackton Hall Colliery in 1898. It was reported that he was not employed by that mine.

The first four entries are from the 'Pontefract Advertiser'. The remainder are from the Yorkshire inspector of mines annual reports.
