I have done a reasonably exhaustive study of the various Forest of Dean
colliery gales and have not come across any references to the Beauchamp
brothers. However, that does not say that they did not have an interest in
the Forest. I do have photographs of several of the Forest collieries with
Somerset wagons collecting coal, ones that come to mind are Dunkerton and
Clutton. They could also have held directorships in a Forest company but
this would need a complete search of the BT files at PRO some of which I
have not completed.
