Hello
My name is Rachel and Martin O'Hora  b: 1875 was my great Grandad. I have tried to find anything regarding his death at Brodsworth Colliery, South Yorkshire, aged 32 years old but none of the sites seem to have his death noted.

'He died when a hoppit filled with bricks was not stopped by the winding engineman at the proper place in a shaft which was being sunk and it caught and killed Martin and injured another 'sinker'.  the engineman alleged that a pin came out of the shaft by which the reversing gear is worked causing him to lose control of the engine but  apparently under such conditions the result would have been to put steam against the engine and cause it to stop more easily'.

I hope this information which his death certificate verifies will at last be displayed as all the other individual accidents are.

Many thanks.

Rachel
