| Description | |
|
|
He was drawing timber on 6 April when a mass of stone fell on him, covering his body; only his face and hands were showing. ‘Richard Bailey another deputy told Waddle to come home, but he refused as there were only two or three more props to draw out and he might as well do it before he went home.’ His funeral took place on the following Sunday, when 300 people attended 150 Sabbath scholars with their teachers being there as a mark of respect to a man who was a Sunday School teacher at Brancepeth Colliery.

Samuel was my great, great, great grandfather. I would love to find photos or stories as he was an active unionist and well loved Sunday School teacher. His son John S was captain of the Henry Cooke lost with all hands at South Shields in 1874. |

Mary Ann Waddle was my great-grandmother on my fathers side. She was born in Jarrow about 1837 and her father was a miner called William Waddle, her mother I have no name for. She was married to a William Barker, she being his first wife, and died in 1873 having had numerous children by him. Other than that I have no further definite information about her, but she lived in Byers Green for a while and there were various Waddle's living there too.Just wondered if there was any link between them? |

It seems that Samuel Waddle was also my great-great-great-grandfather through > John Swallow Waddle > Thomas Keswick Waddle > Edith Waddle (my fathers' mother) and my grandmother. Fascinating stuff finding out all this, even though it is a sad part of the family history. |
