Lauren Spowart   07 Jun 2020 

Hello, My name is Lauren Spowart and I'm currently researching my family tree. I believe I'm the 4x great-granddaughter of Stephen Spowart who is listed as having died in a accident in Dinnington Colliery. I'd love to know if there's any more information available about him or if it's possible to see a copy of the 1885 Mines Inspectors Report that's listed as a source on his individual page. Best Wishes, Lauren
