| Norman E. Dodds | 19 Jan 2012 | I am researching my ancestry and believe this was my great grandfather. I believe his son emigrated to the United States where in worked in the coal mines in southern Illinois. | |
| Denise Deveney | 13 Feb 2023 | My grandmother Ethel Dodds was born in COWPEN in 1889. Her father was George Dodds & Mother Mary Dodds nee Vayro. I know my grandmother came from a long line of coal miners from this area however she emigrated to Australia in 1912 & married a coal miner here. | |
