I haven't got round to adding the info on thread yet
but any chance you could add that info to his notes if you got a min
or I will add over next day or so

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.

Thanks mumbles I will add the other bapts tomoz or day after just not had chance
