An accident occurred in No. 12 Pit, Donibristle Colliery, on Tuesday, which had a fatal issue. A large mass of coal, supposed to weigh about two tons, came away from the face, and buried Robert PRYDE, miner, Arthur's Place, Cowdenbeath, underneath it. Before the man could be extricated the coal had to be broken up. He was got out alive, but was so terribly injured that he lived only a few hours after being conveyed home.

Using my Butte County resourses it makes it easier to zero in on information if I know which of these people lived in Butte County and where in Butte County they lived.

Somewhere called BIGGS, Butte County, CA

Many thanks

Re: Janet Morgan PRYDE from Scotland to California.

I thought it might possibly be Biggs, California. My mother grew up in Biggs and went to school with an Anthon PRYDE. I looked at the 1920 U.S. Census and found the PRYDE family. James M. and Effie PRYDE were the parents of Anthon and seven other children. James M. was born in Scotland about 1870 so he is probably yours.

I looked in the phone book and can find no PRYDEs currently living in Biggs. There are two or three in Chico, California which is about 25 miles north of Biggs.

I don't know which of the PRYDE "boys" married and had children. My mother would have known the answer to that, but she's no longer living. I can give you a list of PRYDEs who either were born or died in Butte County. Maybe some of the names will be familiar or give you a clue as to where you'd like to search next. I'd be more than happy to do what I can to help.

Thanks fot that. I'll see were it all fits in and let you know. Are you a WALLACE or a PRYDE?

I'm neither a WALLACE nor a PRYDE. I live in Butte County. I was also able to confirm, from death records, that the James M. PRYDE who lived in Biggs and is the head of household in the 1920 census, was born December 20, 1870 and died October 11, 1949. His mother's maiden name was Morgan. Best wishes in your search.

I have found that James married 3 times. Once in Scoland & twice in Mexico.
His second wife, Aminta SNEDDON, was born in Scotland. On the Scotland's People web site there are 3 SNEDDONs born in that year. None have the forename "Aminta" You don't happen to know her real forename...could it be the Spanish version of it?

I can't answer this question. I thought Aminta was Italian. I don't believe it's a nickname. There is a SNEDDON board on RootsWeb where you MIGHT find someone who can help. Go to the bottom of this page, and where it says "Find a Board:" type in Sneddon and hit GO! I'll be following this to see what happens.
