I have added NL.
George Darby's daughter Priscilla Darby married Joseph Parsons and their daughter Ellen Parsons ( my grandmother) married Edward Brookes who died in accident at Jubilee Pit in 1928 when a chain levering props and coal snapped and hit him.
Almost the same accident as grandfather of his wife Ellen Parsons.
