The total number of victims was 334 by the first explosion on Wednesday 12th December 1866 and another 26 by the second explosion the following day. Total 360.
75 bodies were recovered prior to the shafts being closed. 45 were recovered during the first twelve months after the shaft was reopened and 70 during the following years making the total 190. This deducted from 360 leaves 170 bodies still in the - Colliery. It is remarkable that all but two have been identified. However in 2016, after 150 years, volunteers finally dug up the truth about Barnsley mining disaster that killed 384.
