Ct and others who may be able to help
I have come across a cutting from the newspaper in February 1858 whereby it states that a disaster in the mine on the 10th February led to the deaths of four people as per the attached quote.
I cannot find a death for this John Glasson in the usual places. And even if I could and the age is correct I am not sure who this John Glasson is. It is interesting that his body was taken to Uny Lelant for the inquest, however he does not seem to be a burial at Lelant. It is possible that he may have been the son of Jakeh Glasson and Jennifer Murrish but at this time I cannot find anything to substantiate this.
Any help would be appreciated.
