LONG - Family
In the same way as Keith Ramsey has found references to Beauchamps and the
Forest I have also come across a reference regarding Samuel Long
Lindley states in " Wotton Under Edge - Men & affairs of a Cotswold Wool
Town" (1962) that he had "Coal Interests in the Forest of Dean"
My guess is Lindley was unaware of the Longs involvement in Cromhall & Yate
and made an assumption regarding the forest, but somebody on the list may
know more! The name Long also appears in connection with the Somerset
coalfield.
TEAGUE - Family
The 1842 Commission Report gives the following information
HOPEWELL, NEW ENGINE, AND PROSPER PITS near COLEFORD
- Peter Teague And Co.
Mr. Peter Teague, Managing Partner
The name Teague appears on documents relating to Cromhall colliery between
1815 & 1819.
Is there any link between the names?
Regards
DAVID
