hi there,
We found the reference in Rotherham archives about 2 years ago and didn't have time to do anything with it. I have just sorted all my paper work out and found it, and thought i might b able to find him in Rotherham somewhere,/ It says 6th Nov 1883 J.w.Wood Hanger On aged 17 Rotherham. Possibly could have lived in scholes or wentworth perhaps
maybe we cold drop the middle W.
Thanks

Cannot see him on the 1881 but

Hooker-On 1849: (see Hanger-On) The hooker-on used before the introduction of guides, to strike the hook ,or hooks, at the bottom of the pit, on to the corf bows.

from http://www.dmm.org.uk/educate/mineocc.htm

also
CORF. — A basket made of hazel, of the capacity of from 10 to 30 pecks, formerly used for conveying coals from the working places to the surface. Leading corves are small corves, containing about 6 or 8 pecks, used for carrying stones or rubbish to a stow-board. Since the introduction of tubs about 50 years ago the use of corves gradually ceased. The corves were made and kept in repair by contractors, named Corvers, who were paid by the score of coals drawn, according to the circumstances of the colliery as to depth, wetness, upcast, downcast, &c., sixpence to one shilling per score, or from 1d. to 2d. per ton.

Hi there,
Could some look up a census for 1881 and look for J.W. Wood who died in 1883 in a pit accident aged 17, that is all the information i have. He is listed as a "Hanger-on) whatever that is, must be a pit term. Would love to know name of dad and place of birth of dad. The area is Rotherham, please.

Thank you everyone.
