I may be totally wrong but I didn't think coal was ever mined in Bedfordshire.
There was a Bedford Mine in Leigh in Lancashire.

I keep getting that one when I search the web but as you can see he's on two censuses as a mine owner. I can find him in kelly's 1910 for Bedfordshire listed as a magistrate no mention of the mine then he was living at The Dene Woburn Sands. Its a mystery 
1891 sch:23 Holwell Bury
George C G Lockhart Head M 58 Magistrate & Colliery Owner Er Beds Dunstable
1901sch:30 1 Dynesor Rd
George C G Lockhart Head M 68 Coal Owner Mine Man E Beds Dunstable

Thanks John so he owned land over a large area and the mine somewhere else entirely I think he is a good candidate for a bit more research twigglet or not
His wife was the daughter of a publican from Lower Heyford Oxfordshire accidentally found them when I found the publican's burial in LH as from Luton Beds they must have taken his body "home" to be buried with his wife he was with them in 1881. I wonder how George C G met Matilda? It could be interesting

In 1861 and 1871 he was a mere coal coke and salt merchant. Perhaps he embellished his occupation in line with his social rise? In 1901 he was a Coal owner and another hand has added Mine man

Matilda's father was a coal dealer from the pub maybe that was the common ground.

He doesn't appear as an owner of land in either Beds or Herts in 1873

interesting Bethan we have two lines moving to the S Wales minefield one from Cornwall One from Devon about that time I often wonder how they knew there would be work there. Apparently there were recruiting agents touring the West Country I wonder if the Bute connection was instrumental with the "advertising" in Bedfordshire its worth a look isn't it
