This is my great grandfather.
His son James Gorman is my grandfather. James was born 1890 and would have been 8 when his father was killed at East Hetton Colliery. I am researching family history and would be grateful of any information re Thomas. I belive his wife to be Mary Gorman and from the 1901 census have found a Mary living in Thornley. Possibly after Thomas was killed Mary might have had to have given up the miners home and be located to Thornley. Regards
Brian Collins

Thomas Gorman was my husbands great great grandfather. His son Robert (brother of James) was his great grandfather. Thomas was killed in a pit accident in 1898 aged 45 years. His wife was Mary (nee Price). I have lots of family history, so please get in touch.
