Was on an Old Thread about Bradley's Lodge Colliery and Tividale Hall but nothing was added to BCC
I have added to bcc and still researching but it would appear they lived at Tividale Hall Rowley Regis until 1871 when Simeon died but it appears there was a disaster at mine and family broke up and most emigrated to Australia in 1884 to 1890. Disaster must have been bad as they lost Tividale Hall and Farm and Colliery.
Any info on Hall and disaster would be appreciated

Thanks Jimmy
Have added all and more
I wonder if anyone can find anything about Pit and Tividale Hall and why family mostly emigrated to Australia

I couldn't see anything.

Thought outside Box Jimmy
Bankruptcy Act 1869
County Court Dudley Worcs. 2/1/1884
In the matter of proceedings for Liquidation instituted by Charles EDwin Bradley Commiion Agent residing at Tividale Hall Tividale Rowley Regis formerly carrying on business at Tvidale Hall Colliery s Coal Master & Proprietor and previously carrying on business in c0-partnership with William Bradley at said Tividale Hall and Colliery

So it appears that is reason family broke up and left for Australia

Bankruptcy could have been because of mine disaster but cannot find anything
