ONE of our readers living across the Pennines is hoping to dig up some information about her mining family.
Irene Coyle from Doncaster is looking for information on the Leach family, who lived in the Outwood area.
The men of family are known to have worked in the colliery there for several generations.
Her great great grandfather's name was Jacob Leach, whose father and brother were both called Jeremiah. Jacob died in the mid 1800s.
Irene said: "I know it is quite a long time ago, but I am hoping that I can connect up with someone who has researched the area and who may know something."
