MINERS
If I knew that ancestors of mine were coal hewers and miners is there anywhere where I could go to find out which mine they worked at and maybe get some further information on them?
I am initially thinking of say a logbook of every mine in Wigan and their employees from say 1880 onwards...

This site shows coal mines in the South Lancashire coalfield.
C.M.H.R.C.
You won't find any in Wigan though!

Try the History Shop, I'm sure there are books there that list the mines and people who worked there.
