The West Briton (Friday, 30 Oct 1857) reported the death of a boy working at Wheal Ding Dong in Gulval: > MINE ACCIDENT - A lad named TOBIAS BOADEN, of Ludgvan, aged twelve, fell > ten fathoms out of the ladder way of Ding Dong mine, on Friday last, into > water, and was found drowned. This youngster was Tobias BAWDEN (ca.1845-1857), the second son of Joseph BAWDEN and Nancy TRATHEN, his first wife. Tobias was buried at Gulval on 15 Oct 1857 with the burial register stating that he was of Boskednan, Gulval. However, it is possible that his widowed father and siblings were already living at Ludgvan, where his father remarried in 1858. The family lived in Ludgvan at Castle Gate in 1859 and at Treassowe Downs at the 1861 Census. Bill Curnow Ludgvan & Gulval OPC Port Charlotte, FL, USA
