John Palmer of Dorset has recently pointed out to me that he has constructed a Web Site around his research in the Parish Registers of Wirksworth, which includes Wirksworth town, Middleton, Cromford, Alderwasley and 200 other placenames. He claims that the records contain over 30,000 people. Wirksworth being the mining town it was, there are records of mining accidents, the arrival of Cornish miners in Wirksworth, and much more information about a mining town. The address of the site is http://www.lds.co.uk/wirksworth -- Dave Williams - [log in to unmask] Visit the Mining History Network at http://info.exeter.ac.uk/~RBurt/MinHistNet for information on PDMHS Ltd., the active Mining History Society. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
