Dear Bernard,
Can I suggest that you talk to Nikki Chaplin or Lynda Harman at the Calstock Archive ? They have loads of records there and may have sorted out this tangle.

Meanwhile, West Wheal Brothers may have been the name for the mine further upstream from Wheal Brothers.
Will see what I can dig out,
Caroline
