This evening, an explosion took place in the Juliet pit, belonging to Messrs. Lamb and Co., at Harraton Outside, near Chester-le-street, by which dreadful accident eleven human beings lost their lives, and all the horses down the shaft were destroyed. Had it happened a few hours later, the number of pitmen and boys in the mine would have been forty of fifty. No cause could be assigned for this lamentable catastrophe.

I have traced back to my third grand father (my fathers, father, father father, father) who was John Dawson. He was born in 1801 in Pensher, Durham. He married Elisabeth Harrison from Fatfield in 1823. I am curious to discover if Joseph Harrison who died in the accident in 1825 was her brother. Many Thanks
