Hi folks, This just landed in my inbox:- Re: George Greenwood Tetley, 1805 - 1873 Dear Mr. Tetley, I came across your "Tetley" family web site by chance during the course of my research into the history of an obscure 19th century lead mine in Ireland, of which George Greenwood Tetley, a Bradford merchant, was the Chairman and single largest shareholder (3,000 shares out of a total of 19,856 issued). The company, The Tassan Lead Mining Company Ltd, which operated what was probably the largest 19th century lead mine in County Monaghan, Ireland, was established in April 1857 by G.G.Tetley and several other Bradford based merchants and traders. The company was put into voluntary liquidation in September 1858, its assets sold by public auction in November that year, and formal dissolution completed in April 1860. Amazingly, share certificates of the Company still exist, and I have several in my possession, some of which bear the signature of G.G.Tetley. Your web site has provided me with invaluable new information about G.G.Tetley, and his descendants as far as three grandchildren: Harold Rennie Tetley, born in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1901; and Peter and Jane Lang (no dates of birth cited). Unfortunately your links do not extend any further, but I am contacting you on the off-chance that you might be able to help me pursue this branch of the "Tetley" family further. My reason is simple: I would like to contact any of G.G.Tetley's lineal descendants in the hope that they might still retain information about the man, photographs, perhaps even family papers relating to the Tassan Mine in family archives. Are you aware of any further descendants, and, if so, do you know how I might contact them? I would be extremely grateful for any help that you might be able to provide. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This comes from the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland Ltd (http://www.mhti.ie). Can anyone help with this? I'll supply the email address to you, if you can help and wish to respond. Cheers Rich -- Born in Sheffield, but currently in Nottingham UK.
