The book you are reffering to is probably 'Colleries of North East Lancashire' by Jack Nadin - ISBN 978-0-7524-2803-1 although Jack Nadin has a couple of similar titles to the above so he may appear in others.

Jimmy Cregg was my uncle, his brother Bernard Cregg was my Father.
Bernard Cregg was a deputy at Thorny Bank colliery, before overseeing the demolition of Huncoat pit in the late sixties.

I was born and lived in Huncoat until about 1976 when I moved to Accrington, I now live in Preston.

I have lost touch with the cousins you refer to - Christine (Barnes), Martin, Janette and Julie, the last time I would have seen them was in 1982 at Jimmy Cregg's funeral, both Jimmy and Bernard Cregg died in 1982.
