Robert Aisbitt
| Age: | 26 |
| Died: | 28th Aug 1924 |
| Accident: | 28th Aug 1924 9.30 p.m., 7th hour of shift |
| Year Born: | abt. 1898 |
| Colliery: | Langley Park |
| Company: | Consett Iron Co., Ltd. |
| Occupation: | Hewer |
| Notes: | Deceased was setting an end prop to a plank which was already supported by a middle prop and one end prop. The plank was about 7 ft. from the face of a bord 8 yards wide in a thin seam. Whilst driving the prop a circular stone, 6 ft. in diameter and varying in thickness from a feather edge to 12 ins., fell from a glazy slip in the roof. It canted out the plank and killed him. It would appear that the prop had been too tight, and, in driving it, deceased had not only shaken the stone and loosened it, but had also disturbed the plank. Planks were set 4 ft. apart to comply with the timbering rules |

A Matthew Aisbitt b) 1832 in Lamesley was my great (x2) grandfather and I wondered if anyone could confirm whether Robert and Edith Annie Aisbitt might be related. Many thanks.
