Could anyone give me any information on the Featherstone/Ackton Hall Colliery circa 1910. I am trying to research my great grandfather, however information is very limited as my grandfather was orphaned at age 9. I do know however that my grandfather was born in 1910 in Featherstone, his father Samuel Hibbard was a 'colliery fireman'(?), as they lived in Featherstone then I am assuming he worked in the local colliery. Is it possible to find any local records for this era ie schools, hospitals, locals doctors? I think I may have found the record of the death of his mother in 1913 but it isn't local to Featherstone and I cannot find anything about Samuel Hibbard. Did he die locally or did he move on? Would there be any record in the Ackton Hall Colliery records, who would have owned the house they were living in, would they have any record? ANY info would be gratefully received. :thumbsup:
