I am helping my daughter with a school project about local history. As we live in Stanley and the memorial is at the top of our street (Murray Park), she has chosen the West Stanley Pit Disaster as the subject and she just told me that William McGough (who shares my surname) was one of the men killed. I'd like to find out if I am related to William? Any help would be valuable. Thank you
