Mrs Dingle had three children by her first husband, before marrying miner William Dingle and having at least six more children. Their three daughters died before 12 months, but three boys survived. William Dingle was injured in a mine accident at Carroll & Beard’s mine in 1873 and his ‘recovery was uncertain’ but he went on to live to 1904, when he was thrown from his horse and killed, as was the eldest daughter two years earlier in a similar accident.
