  • Your Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors
    Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Your Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors May 2017 [1] Cover Photograph: Image. Hutton, Guthrie. ‘How are you off for Coals’. Collection: National Mining Museum Scotland. NGSMM2005.3397. [2] Introduction The aim of this booklet is to help you research your Scottish coal mining ancestors and the conditions in which they lived and worked. There has been coal mining in Scotland for over a thousand years, operating in tens of thousands of pits. Scottish mining saw its peak in the early years of the twentieth century, during which 10% of the Scottish population was involved in the industry. Few detailed employment records exist from the period before nationalisation in 1947. However, there are many sources available which can shed light on conditions in the workplace and at home, and help to give a more complete picture of your ancestor’s life. First Steps Before launching into specific mining related research, it is advisable to build up a comprehensive picture of your ancestors by gathering information from relatives, and by searching standard family history records. Key record sets include: statutory registers (births, marriages and deaths from 1855 onwards); Old Parish Records (baptisms, marriages and banns, and burials, up to 1855); census returns (1841-1911); Kirk Session Minutes; Memorial Inscriptions - a large collection of these is held at the Scottish Genealogy Society Library; directories – many, covering the period 1773 to 1911, are available digitally via the National Library of Scotland; newspapers; wills and testaments; legal and property records. You can find these records in libraries and record offices, family history centres, and online databases.
