This is all useful and I'll add it to the article. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:16, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I won't add this entry about Governor and Company of Copper Miners in England as I'm uncertain whom it references. It may refer to J.H. Pelly 1st Bt. vs. his eldest son, J.H. Pelly 2nd Bt. I'm suspicious because of this, dated 1856 (after Pelly 1st Bt.'s death). But maybe with more research, it can be confirmed to the father or the son. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:20, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
