I am a new member and I am trying to research my great-grandfather, James Fergusson Lindsay. I have already looked at the string of mails regarding "aerial ropeways" and have found them very useful. I am wondering if anyone has any uncovered any information about a possible company which could have employed James Lindsay as he lived in Llanaelhaearn, Gwynedd in 1903 and in Almeria, Spain in 1904. Does anyone know which mine he might have been involved in at that time in north Wales? Or even the Spanish ones?
James Lindsay went on to build the "longest aerial ropeway in the world" across the Andes in Colombia for coffee growers in the years 1923 - 1930. I am not an academic so please excuse my informality.
Rebecca Woods.
