Snaefell mine disaster

I am reasonably certain that the Robert Kelly that was killed in the Snaefell mine disaster in 1897 was my grandmother's brother. All of the information that I currently have for him, birth record, census records and of course a death record, seem to indicate this. There is also a family story about an uncle Bobby killed in a mining accident on the island. The missing link is an obituary or a living relative that can verify that the Robert Kelly killed in the mine was the Robert Kelly in my family tree. I am hoping that there is someone on the Island that is familiar with this family. My Robert Kelly was the son of Jane Cowin and James Kelly. They lived in Laxey Glen at the time of the accident. Thank you for your help.
