My Farther and his family lived and worked in the crook area until approx 1923, Which is when they moved to rotherham yorkshire to find work at silverwood colliery. I know very little about my dad family, (THE WATSON FAMILY) Sid my dad was cremated nov 2013 age 95 born approx 1918 we think in the area of billy hill, billy row, crook, to a mining family. He did mention remmembering playing on billy hill which i think is very near St Thomas church. I am woundering if the above late joseph watson might be a brother or a cousin/family left behind and lost to time. I would be really plased to hear from anyone in the area who might have some information, Thankyou. Very best regards
