Hi
The web page that you refer to "Entombed in Flood & Flame " is an exact copy of an extremely rare print published shortly after the disaster. I've used the same spelling and the same layout as shown on the original print.

I'll include a note on the page stating the correct names
ie GLEED not CLEADE as I have already done for Cidland, John* (see bottom of page)

Just to add that there is another name which is always spelt incorrectly on every website connected with this disaster (and also on the mine map of the disaster of which I have a copy). It is that of George Oxford. His name was actually George Ockford and he was my great grandmother's brother.
