The following site gives not only info on Durham miners but also the list of deaths and how they died in the other mining disasters in the UK. It's quite an extensive site and makes very good reading if you have a miner in your ancestry. Well worth a furtle.

Thanks Gloria.
I wonder if this site will help answer the query about a fireman down the mine? Will post the link there too in case this topic is missed.

I stumbled across it looking for Samuel Lockett as I knew he had worked there as a miner, and I thought he may have gone back there from Burnley.
It mentions amongst many, the Altham Colliery disaster and names the dead.
