THIS is a long shot but I thought I'd try anyway. I am after some information about a mining accident in 1925 at Sherdley Mine, St Helens in which my grandfather was killed.

My Grandfather's name was John Montgomery, Born 1874 I believe in Ireland. His wife was Margaret Montgomery (nee Catterall), they had 7 children one of which is my father, Albert John Montgomery.

If there is any chance of a small write up in your paper about this, somebody in the area might remember something. Thankyou for your time in reading this.
