One of the Memoirs I recently acquired from Rod Ireland (Flint, Hawarden
and Caergwrle) has a couple of stamps in it. One is of A. Timmins
A.M.I.C.E., F.G.S., Argyll Lodge, Runcorn. The other stamp is of E.
Timmins and Sons Ltd of Runcorn. There are two of these, one dated 12
Jun 01 and the other 10 Jun 1924. The only Timmins I could find in my
database was Edward Timmins, who was manager of Blobber Mine, Wirksworth
in 1925 on behalf of the Derbyshire Mining and Exploration Co. Ltd. Does
anyone know anything of these firms and whether there is any connection
between the two? and does anyone know anything of Edward Timmins?
Cheers.
