Hello Anne,
many thanks for that, you could be the one who puts an end to
big, big family arguments
Could you please have a look at the list to see if the name Tom Symonds or
Simmonds (or similar) is on the list. I understand he worked at Rose
Heyworth pit and lived on Alma Street
look forward to hearing from you
Angie
PS how big is the list, were there many names?
Dear Angie
Much to my surprise I have found the list quite easily!!
It is dated 17th June 1918 and so is later than the session which would have
included your gr father. The paper is headed Rose Heyworth Colliery Lodge
and then there are the names of the Chairman (Isaac LONG), Treasurer (John
MUTTER) Train Secretary (Isaac GRIFFITHS) Secretary (J. WILLIAMS) with all
their home addresses. Then the opening paragraph states "Names of men drawn
for Service and sent on to the Military Authorities 17th June 1918". There
are 24 names and the signature at the end is J. Williams, Sec.
William GODWIN
George COOK ?E or S
Joseph THOMAS
Chas PRENDEGAST
James YORKE (Norman St)
Lambert RAY ?MOND
J Stanley MORGAN
George Hy WILLIAMS
David MORGAN
Joseph PARRY
Ben OWEN
James POWELL
Albert LEWIS
Morgan WRIGHT
Alfred WILLIAMS III ?
John LEWIS
Byron PHILLIPS
John PINCOTT
W J LEWIS
Mel FLORENCE (discharged)

The phrase "Names of men drawn for Service... rather suggests that there
was some sort of drawing of lots involved, and the Union officials
supervised it, rather than colliery managers.
