    That's probably Billy McHales family - the boxer - who died a couple of years ago.
    Who I knew well.
    A true gentleman.
    You can find reference to him on Google.

    Yes really
    Talking about mining as whole not just Barnsley.
    Although ther were thousands per year in explosions , etc far far more were maimed or killed in less publicised accidents . Many children were killed and most time not registers . As I said there’s lots of books etc documenting them
