history of esh winning and family tree


James Crosby   17 Mar 2014 

Believe that James Crosby may have been my great grandfather (my father was born at Bear Park near Esh Winning). Would be interested to discover the names of James's widow and 4 sons to help confirm.


Kimberley Crosby   29 Dec 2020 

James is my Great Grandfather, his son Fred was my grandfather also a miner at Esh Winning.


James Crosby   09 Nov 2021 

Hi Kimberley. I remember you from when we visited our grandfather and grandmother, Fred & Mary, as kids. Your dad Colin and your mum Gloria were always nice to us. My dad was Trevor, Colin's older brother.


Kimberley Crosby   15 Jan 2023 

Hi James I'm Brians daughter. James was born in Darlington on 20.11.1878 mother Sophia Crosby and father Henry Palfreeman. James had 4 sons, Alfred to his first wife, when she passed away he married Rachel Mayor our Great Grandmother, they had Arthur, Stan, Fred our grandfather. James died two weeks after the pit accident at home 25 Durham Road Esh Winning. If you want to know more I've done our full family tree I even have some photos.
