I can't find Curdaze in either Cornwall or Devon
The fellow who would probably know is Justin Brooke of Marazion. Apart
from writing some books he's a retired stockbroker who specialised in
mining ventures. He's lodged all his notes (on 13,000 Cornish mining
ventures) with the County Records Office in Truro. They're most
approachable and will send copies if applicable.
Cornwall Record Office, County Hall, Truro, TR1 3AY.
