I am looking for details of several Wigan and St. Helens area coal mines that were operating around 1900 . Namely Ince Hall , rosebridge, Eccelston Hall ,and Spring branch collieries .
I am trying to find out the names of the owners , managers and under managers if possible.
Any idea how to do this

Ince Hall was owned by Ince Hall Coal and Cannel Company Ltd. It is possible that John Walmesly esq was the lesser. There is a possible confusion however as John Walmesly is down for Ince Moss Hall company.

Rose Bridge Colliery was operated under the name of Rose Bridge Coilliery company Ltd.

Ince Hall could also be Pearson adn Knowles Colliery company. There seems to be some conflicting information out there

thanks Detrious, I am trying to check if the Latham brothers owned these Collieries sometime between 1890 & 1910 , and who were the managers and under managers of the mines.

W +T Latham owned the first 3 Collieries on your list in 1908.
Cannot see mention of Spring Branch,but i only looked at the 1908 list.
