The Derbyshire Record Office definitely holds the records of the 1938 Memorial Fund and will almost certainly have newspaper reports, with the names of all those killed, relating to both events:

It looks like I should learn to type faster (and, indeed, research better!).

Well done, Mushroom25!
bit of a cheat on my part - I had been researching the Lofthouse Gate disaster of 1973 last week, so knew where to look. :-)

You may already have found the info you need but there's also this site that lists coal mining disasters.
