I believe James Woodcock and not James Wood is my great uncle. I received his death certificate today and tells of his accident on 3rd January 1884 age 19. I will need further evidence to support he being my uncle. The dob fits. My last trace of him was the 1881 census living at Single Row Usworth, occupation Miner, with his brother Robert, Mother Margaret and sister Margaret Gray and her baby Richard. His death cert has him living at 15 New Road, High Walker. |

My previous post I find incorrect as I have now located him. It was not my Great Uncle but I believe his cousin. Brothers Richard and William had sons James about the same time thus the correct age at the time of this accident. I cannot find James son of William after 1881. |
