Accident No. 25, by which Matthew Johnson lost his life, took place at Pegswood Colliery.

Whether its fall was caused by carelessness in attaching it to the rope, or from some other cause, there was not evidence to show.

He is identified as the father of my great grandmother, Elizabeth Jane Johnson, and as the husband of her mother, jane Johnson nee Crawford, but I have been unable to confirm that any marriage took place. I am interested to confirm this ( or otherwise) and also to find out more about him, as he appears likely to have been the father of my great grandmother. |
