Robert Brown was my grandfather. His first son Frank Brown 1930-1987 was my father. I was born in 1951 so I never new my grandfather Robert. As a child I was told he was killed in a mining accident but little more than that. A friend suggested that I look up The Durham Mining Museum website and found the event of his death within minutes. Thanks very much to all your contribritors for this information |
