Hi Chelly,
Birth, marriages and deaths should have been recorded by the relatives at the British Consulate, either in Rio de Janeiro or Belo Horizonte.  As regards the mine itself I can provide you with more details if it is of interest.

Hello Chelly,
The above link will give some insight into the Morro Velho mine.  I am currently doing some research for my family history as my grandfather was chief superintendent of the mine for some years. My period of interest is 1910 to 1947 and I have photos which will need restoring and identifying which could take time.  I live in UK and have relatives in Brazil.  If I can help you I will.

Hi Chelly

I'm also interested in the Morro Vello mine. My father and grandfather worked for John Del Ray Mining Co. and I was born in Brazil.  I have a book on the history of the mine. The names I'm interested are Lowes Fenton and Dobles
