Can anyone (possibly with access to the series of annual HM Inspectors of Mines Lists for the 1880s) find reference to a Mr. Alexander Lawrie. If so which colliery is he listed under and holding what position? I am expecting to find him listed possibly under Ayrshire or possibly another Scottish coalfield as a colliery manager or under manager. He should not appear after 1890 after which time he went to open up coal mines in Cyphergat in the Western Cape of South Africa.
Happy New Year to all on the list
