Hi, John Edward Nelson is my 3xGreat Grandfather. Do you have any further information on him? Or is anyone else researching him or George Catron Nelson who is my 2 x Great Grandfather. As George was Colliery Manager at Brandon, I also wondered if there were any photographs in existence? Thanks and kind regards, Mike Bell.
