Dear Alisdair,
How interesting... I wasn't aware of this other Beaumont Co. - I presume it
was a Ltd. Lia. Co.?
I think it may be a possibility that this 'new' Co. might have been formed
to handle mineral rights and certain lands that were retained when they
sold the mines, since, to my knowledge, they sold all their mines to Weardale
Lead.
I will see what I can find re Co. records. Interesting!
Regards, Bernard
