I have sent Robert two spreadsheets with many references to the Eddy's and the Barratt's. I do not have a single reference to a Nathaniel Smith. There was a dynasty of Eddy's and both Eddy and Barratt were major figures in 19th century mining.
Cheers, Dave

Dear List,
I am looking for biographical information on James Barratt, Stephen Eddy and Nathaniel Smith, all of whom were employed as mine captains by John Taylor.
Has anyone got anything? The internet has been singularly unhelpful, especially as Nathaniel Smith is currently some sort of American basketball player!
