Ormesby on 9 March 1866. An Inquest was held on 10 March 1866.
His death was registered in Guisborough District

The incident seems to have been an isolated
accident, and the records do not show it as a mining disaster event - http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/o902.htm
Ormesby
mine was short-lived (1865 to 1892). Its function was to mine an outlying
deposit under Ormesby Bank. The seam occured quite near to the surface, and
roof falls at the site of the mine have been commonplace. The leaseholders for
1865 - 1879 : Swan, Coates and Company (at the time of John’s accident), and
later from 1879 – 1892 : Cargo Fleet Iron Company.
