Family History in Easington

Seaside Lane c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My mother's family came from Easington and most lived there until their deaths. I wondered if anyone knew of them or remembered them?
The family was called Miller, and I know that my oldest uncle was Willy (William) who had a wife Ivy and my other uncle was Jack Miller, who had a wife called Mim. These two worked all their lives at the pit there, and Jack lived in Angus Street and Willy in Argent Street. Their sister Olga was married to a man called Bob, also a miner.
My grandparents were Elizabeth and William Miller, I believe they lived round Cavell Square way. They died in the 50's and must be buried in one of the cemeteries in the village somewhere. They had 7 children and came from pit families.
It would be nice if anyone remembers them.
