Hi all - I found this on a website for old U.S. newspapers (which charges). It was written to encourage people to sign up, but has a subject of interest for us. The genealogist was Scott Phillips, who said he runs a forpay website called Onward To Our Past, and specializes in Cornwall, amongst other places. Kansas City Star, 16 February 1920, pg 20 "Deadwood Dick Cashes In His Chips In Life's Game", detailing how the hero of numerous "yellow" books and dime novels had died. "This account confirmed that a man named Richard Bullock was the original and very real Deadwood Dick. He spent time as a guard on the gold bullion stagecoaches that carried gold ore from the mines of South Dakota to Omaha, Nebraska. The article said that Richard emigrated from “England,” the common misnomer in those times for any portion of the United Kingdom. . My additional research has confirmed that Richard Bullock, a.k.a. Deadwood Dick, was born about 20 August 1847 near Saint Columb Major in Cornwall. He was a member of the Methodist Choir before he emigrated from Cornwall in his early 20s to find his future in America. . >From choirboy to a man of mythological proportions and the stuff of early action novels."

He married Elizabeth MAYNE in 1813, and they had 13 children. In 1836, the West Briton reported a fire in the Inn which was extinguished by the "strenuous exertions" of the family. He is buried in Camborne churchyard, along with Elizabeth, who pre-deceased him by 5 years. If anyone would like a photo of their gravestone, drop me an email. regards, Yvonne in Plymouth

Further to Julia's query re the above, I had a look at the Australian Dictionary of Biography and found the Rounsevell family were indeed fortunate. William Rounsevell Sr "son of a Cornish farmer" came to South Australia with his family in 1839, became a police constable, then went to the Victorian diggings (perhaps this is where he became fortunate) His elder son John born 4 April 1836 at Tregony CON was a pastoralist and politician. He died at Adelaide in 1902, had married four times. Younger son William Benjamin Rounsvell born Adelaide 1843 was the son of William Sr's second marriage to Mary Palmer. William Jr ( known as "Big Ben") had many business interests and was a prominent politican between 1875 and 1893. He was involved in the federation of the Australian colonies in 1901. William Jr died at Adelaide in 1923. This is a very brief summary of the lengthy biography in the ADB. Eril Willmott Melbourne

Hi: I'm trying to find a baptism for Martha Tummon, born sometime between 1804 and 1806. Her parents were Samuel Tummon and his wife Martha, nee Morcombe. Her parents were married in St. Merryn in 1799. Her sister Elizabeth was baptised in Padstow in 1807. Philip Green, the OPC for Padstow, did a look up for me in the Padstow records but couldn't find her baptism. Could this be a private baptism? Martha Tummon married Charles Martyn on October 18, 1837 in St. Merryn, later emigrating to Canada in 1844. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11119-40317-1?cc=1769414&wc=MMVH-VY4:941323330 Regards, Carol Collins

WEST BRITON & CORNWALL EXAMINER Friday, 14 November, 1856 . Local Intelligence . MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS . Falmouth - Mr. Alderman Blight was elected on Monday last Mayor of this borough, having previously served the office about eighteen years since. He earnestly requested not to be elected, but the majority of the council having given him their votes, he complied with their wishes. The cordial thanks of the council were presented to the late Mayor (Mr. Carne), for the courteous, indefatigable, and effective manner, in which he had performed the duties of his office during the past year. Messrs. Ellis and Brougham were re-elected aldermen. The various committees, seven in number, having been appointed, and other quarterly business transacted, the council separated. . Penryn - On Monday last, Mr. J.B. Read was re-elected Mayor for the ensuing year. Messrs. Stephens and Brokenshire were elected aldermen in the place of Messrs. Mead and Corfield. Mr. G. Wade was elected alderman in the place of Mr. McLeod, who has left the town. . Helston - At the election of Mayor for this borough, on Monday last, Mr. Kendall, banker, was proposed and seconded, but declined to act; the former Mayor, Mr. Edwards, was then re-elected. Mr. Thomas Rogers and Mr. M.P. Moyle were re-elected aldermen. . Penzance - At the meeting of the council on Monday last, the retiring Mayor, Mr. Borlase, gave a retrospect of the state of the town, its finances and improvements; after which, on the motion of Mr. J.B. Read, seconded by Mr. W. Richards, Mr. Thomas Coulson was unanimously elected Mayor of the borough for the ensuing year. . The Mayor having made the usual declarations, returned thanks, stating how much he appreciated the honour conferred on him, and that he should do everything in his power for the improvement of the town and the welfare of its inhabitants. There were three retiring aldermen, and to fill their places six were proposed, but two or three of them did not desire to take the office. The outgoing aldermen were Messrs. Pearce, Davy, and Branwell; the two former were re-elected, and Mr. Colliver was elected in the place of Mr. Branwell. . A vote of thanks to the late Mayor, Mr. Walter Borlase, was moved by Mr. Pearce, who bore testimony to the excellent and regular way in which the Ex-Mayor had discharged his duties during the past year. Mr. Higgs seconded the motion, which was passed unanimously, and the Ex-Mayor returned thanks .... On the motion of Mr. Mathews, seconded by Mr. A Berryman, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. D.B. Bedford for his conduct during his justiceship and to the other justices of the borough. . Mr. Bedford acknowledged the vote; after which a discussion took place on the question of the meetings of the council being in future open to the public. This is a subject which has for some time been debated at meetings of the council. It having been moved by Mr. Pearce and seconded, that the meetings of the council be held as before, Mr. J.B. Read proposed an amendment, seconded by Mr. Ball, that the meetings should be open; and on a division, the amendment was carried. . Mr. Pearce was appointed presiding alderman for the eastern ward, and Mr. Davy for the western In the evening the usual corporation dinner took place at the Union Hotel, when a number of toasts were drunk and acknowledged, and the evening was spent most agreeably. . Liskeard - Mr. Peter Clymo was on Monday last elected Mayor for the year ensuing. ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CORNWALL - We have received the following from Mr. Tweedy in connection with the proceedings at the recent annual meeting; "To the Editor of the West Briton, Sire, - In noticing the interesting specimens of mineral pitch, presented to the institution by Mr. Rickard from the Consolidated mines, I stated that it had hitherto been noticed as occurring only in mines further east or west. Mr. Joseph, formerly of Redruth, and now of Plymouth, to whose skill and judgment as a mineralogist I have been indebted for many very valuable additions to my collection, has recalled to my recollection its occurrence at old Wheal Jewel accompanying yellow copper ore, specimens of which obtained from him I have. He also notices it as having occurred in those mines in which Tinnantite has been found." . A correspondent at Kynance Cove (Mr. H. Essex Collins) alludes to Dr. Barham's remarks at the meeting of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, on the meterology of the county, and states that the torrent of rain which fell at Kynance Cove on the 6th ult., to which Dr. Barham referred, damaged property to the amount of above GBP 100. ART UNION OF CORNWALL - The following is a statement of the pictures selected by the winners of prizes, the whole of the selections having been made from the meritorious pictures of Mr. Philp, of Falmouth, who was last spring admitted a member of the London Society of Painters in Water Colours: . Mr. George Hugoe, St. Agnes, prize GBP 10 10s., selected "Penberth Cove," by James G. Philp; Mr. R.T. Hall, Devoran, GBP 5 5s., "Fowey Castles" by ditto; Mr. Hender Rogers, Falmouth, GBP 5 5s., "View from the Lizard," by ditto; Mr. S.T. Williams, Truro, GBP 5. 5s, "Kynance Cove," by ditto; Mr. R.H. Cock, Redruth, GBP 5 5s., "Near Cape Cornwall," by ditto; Mr. Joseph Roberts, Truro GBP 5 5s. "North coast of Devon," by ditto; Mr. W.S. Olver, Falmouth, GBP 3 3s., "Mullion from the Island," by ditto. . SIGNOR GAVAZZI - The Cornwall Gazette, inspired no doubt by the alarm which Signor Gavazzi's powerful exposures of the unprincipled conduct of the Romanising party in the Church of England excited in its mind, has been treating its readers to weekly libels upon the eloquent Italian Reformer. Its accusation against him is, that he is a Red Republican and a partisan of Mazzini; and the charge is supported by the allegation that Gavazzi published a letter in the Times, in January, 1854, expressing republican opinions. The truth, however, is, that the letter in question is a pure invention of the Gazette's. No such letter ever emanated from Gavazzi, and the Gazette's angry abuse is, therefore, founded upon nothing but fictions which its editor's imagination has conjured up. A letter, we understand, has been addressed to the Gazette by Signor Gavazzi's friend and companion, Mr. King, denying the authorship of any such letter as that referred to. We shall see whether our neighbour! has the candour to apologise for his false charges. . PEACE MEETING(snipped) – Mr. E. Fry, of London, gave a lecture at the Friends’ meeting-house, at Falmouth, on Monday evening, November 4th, to a crowded audience, on the “Policy of War and the Policy of Peace.” He sketched the history of several recent wars in which the objects aimed at had not been in any sense attained but the belligerents seriously maimed in the strife. . TRURO WORKING MAN'S INSTITUTE - On Tuesday evening last, a lecture was delivered at this institute, by Mr. J.R. Endean, on "Man's Mental Constitution." At the close it was announced that on Tuesday next, the Rev. J. Innocent would lecture on the "Philosophy of Labour and the Achievements of Man as a Worker." TRURO INSTITUTION.(snipped) – The lecture on Friday evening was by Mr. Garland, of Fairfield, on “The Writings of Charles Lamb.” The lecturer gave an interesting account of the personal appearance, qualities, habits, and peculiar tastes of this attractive author; and particularly noticed his free and independent choice of friend, his benevolence in proportion to his means, and his constant and brotherly devotion to his afflicted sister. . He read selections from the writings of Charles Lamb, especially from his "Essays of Elia," and accompanied them with apt and discriminating comments on the peculiar style and delicate humour of the author. There are here "all sorts of pragmatical conceits, mingled with a divine philosophy; for joking, reasoning, philosophizing, and making his readers laugh and weep in the same breath, this volume is unrivalled." Charles Lamb's poetry is not of a very high order; it is eclipsed by his prose. His letters are the best in our language, with the exception of Cowper's. One of his friends, the Rev. C.V. LeGrice, is now resident in this county; he is alluded to in the "Essays of Elia," and he still retains an affectionate remembrance of his old companion. Mr. Garland concluded his excellent lecture, which was delivered to a full audience, by recommending his youthful hearers to read the writings of Charles Lamb, as amongst the most delightful of our own times. . On the motion of Mr. Lowry, seconded by Mr. Solomon, and supported by Mr. Stokes, who bore testimony to the merits of the lecture, a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Garland, with an acknowledgment of the obligations of the institution for his having favoured them with lectures on various occasions. Mr. Garland having replied, it was announced by Mr. R.O. Job, who was in the chair, that the lecture on the 14th inst. would be delivered by Mr. Bond, of Truro, on "John Howard the Philanthropist." . PENRYN INSTITUTION - Mr. Henry Lowry, of Truro, delighted the members of this institution and their friends on Monday last, by delivering a lecture entitled "An evening with Alfred Tennyson the Poet Laureate of England." He gave quotations, selected with excellent taste, from some of the poet's major poems, while some of his more striking minor pieces he read entire. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Mr. Lowry. The next lecture will be delivered on Monday the 24th instant, by Mr. Robert Gloyn, of Penryn, on "The Life and Genius of Sir Isaac Newton." . WESLEYAN MISSIONS. – On Thursday the 6th instant, a meeting was held in the Wesleyan chapel, St. Just in Roseland, in behalf of these missions. Mr. Dunstan was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting, after which Mr. Janlon, the superintendent of the St. Mawes circuit, read some extracts from the report for the last year. Mr. Woolcock, of Ruan, addressed the assembly, and was followed by Mr. George, of St. Mawes, after which Mr. Janlon gave some interesting details of what he had witnessed while a missionary in the West Indies, and the success of his labours in some of the islands. The collection amounted to nearly one-third more than that of the last year. . PADSTOW - On Thursday the 30th ult., a concert took places in the Public Rooms, under the patronage of Mr. C.G.P. Brune, superintended by Mr. McAllister, band master of the Royal Cornwall Rangers. The overtures and duets were played by the band of the Rangers with great elegance. Several fine glees were sung by Messrs. Lanyon, Burton and Sangwin, of Bodmin, and encored. The solos by Mr. McAllister on the clarionet, and Master R. McAllister on the cornet, were performed with great effect, and warmly encored. The song of the "Slave Ship" was sung by Mr. Sangwin with much applause from the crowded audience and the concert terminated with "God Save the Queen." Great credit is due to those who took part in the concert for the able performances of the evening. . ROYAL CORNWALL INFIRMARY - We beg to direct attention to the recent reports from the Royal Cornwall Infirmary of the number of patients receiving aid in that excellent institution. It will be seen, by a reference in the weekly report, that there are now upwards of sixty patients in the house. It must be apparent that this large increase in the number of inmates must be attended with a largely increased expenditure. The income for the year was not adequate to the maintenance of a loss number - is not the present state of the hospital a loud appeal for further support? The following is a list of additional subscriptions: United Mines, adventurers, GBP 6 6s.; Fowey Console adventurers, GBP 5; Rev. Saltren Rogers, GBP 1 1s; Collection at Feock, per Rev. T. Phllpotts, GBP 3 8s. 6d.; at Gerrarow, per Rev. W.D. Longlands, GBP 1 10s; at Mullion, per Rev. H.B. Bullocke, GBP 1. THOROUGH-BRED HORSE - We are glad to be able to state, that a first-class thorough-bred stallion has been secured for use in West Cornwall, during the approaching season. A few gentlemen interested in the improvement of the breed of our horses, have purchased "William Rufus," by "Touchstone," out of "Duvarney," a horse which , for size substance, and blood cannot be surpassed. "William Rufus" is five years old, is closely allied to the winners of all our great races, and has been himself several times a winner. . CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS . Liskeard. At this court held on the 4th instant, there were ninety-three cases entered, of which only three or four were defended. In the case of Peter Clymo and John Allen v. Thomas Rowe, the plaintiffs are executors of the late Capt. James Clymo, of Liskeard, and in the year 1850, let the estate of Grigg's Tenement, at Lamellion, in the parish of Liskeard, to defendant, as yearly tenant, as GBP 25 per year. At Michaelmas last, defendant was served with a notice to quit the estate, which was taken by Mr. Daniel Hicks, at GBP 28 per year, Mr. Hicks being then prepared to enter thereon. The defendant was unwilling to leave according to the notice, believing that his term was good for fourteen years, for which term (he stated) he took the place, but did not succeed in obtaining a lease. A verdict was given for the plaintiffs, fixing Saturday, the 15th November instant, for vacating the estate for the incoming tenant. Mr. Childs appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Bishop, of Fowey, for the defendant. . Truro - At this court, held on Friday last, there were seventy-two cases entered, all of which were disposed of and none were of any interest to the public. The following committals were ordered by the court: Richard Gill v. Andrew Nicholls, defendant had been summoned for payment of GBP 28 3s. 4d., and not appearing to summons, he was ordered to be committed for thirty days. William Slade Olver v. Henry Symons, defendant had been ordered to pay GBP 9 11s. 10d. debt with costs, and in default was committed for twenty-one days. Amos Jennings v. Charlotte Langdon Curgenven, this was a claim for GBP 5 9s. 2d., defendant had been already imprisoned for non-payment, and was now re-committed for thirty days for non-payment. . Falmouth - At this court, held on Saturday last, there were eighty-two cases entered for trial, but most of them were settled out of court. In the case of Ball v. Mitchell, which was a suit to recover for goods missing through defendant's negligence, who was employed as a salesman for Mr. Ball, his Honor gave judgment for GBP 17. The majority of the cases were for small sums. Several persons were committed for non-appearance to summons, &c. . TRURO POLICE - On Saturday last, before the Mayor, Mr. Nankivell, and Mr. Paddon, three females, Elizabeth Toy, of Penryn, Anna Maria Murren, of Redruth, and Mary Ann Harris, alias Bullock, of Truro, were charged with being disorderly, and behaving in an indecent manner in St. Nicholas Street, on the previous Wednesday night. Harris was committed for twenty days, each of them having been previously before the magistrates. As to Toy, it was her first appearance before the bench and as she said she was going to Australia, and promised at once to leave the town, she was discharged. . On Monday last, before the Mayor and Mr. Paddon, Samuel Olive, a carpenter in the employ of Mr. Wellington, builder, River Street, was charged with assaulting George Phippard. The old man went into Mr. Wellington's premises on business when Olive threw a piece of wood at him, and cut his nose very much. Olive did not appear, but the offence being proved in his absence, he was fined 50s. and costs, or in default to be committed for fourteen days. . On the same day John Buckingham was charged with assaulting Ann Moyston, who stated that he used abusive language to her in Kenwyn Street on Sunday night, that he also gave her a blow and tore her bonnet. Witnesses were called on both sides. The magistrates considered the assault proved, and fined the defendant 10s including costs, or one week's imprisonment. . CAMBORNE POLICE - Robbery - On the night of Sunday the 2nd instant, the account-house of Dolcoath Mine was broken into and plundered of fourteen silver spoons, ten bottles of spirits, five decanters containing spirits, two corkscrews, two razors, beef, cheese, tea, sugar, and bread. It appears the thieves got over the back wall and returned the same way. Placards were posted on Monday, offering a reward of GBP 5 for their apprehension. Police constable Ward, as usual, was actively at work, and on Thursday he apprehended a lad named William Mill, fourteen years of age, on suspicion of his being one of the offenders, and took him to the mine, where his shoes corresponded with the marks on the gutter outside the wall; afterwards he examined the clothes Mill wore on the Sunday, and found a small quantity of tea, sugar, & c., in his pocket; and Mill then admitted that his brother Thomas, twenty-two years of age, and a young man name Wm. Vincent, twenty-four years of age, put it i! n his pockets while in the account-house. Vincent and Thomas Mill were apprehended on the Monday following by policeman Ward and constable G. Noble, and were taken before Mr. Reynolds, of Trevenson, county magistrate, and committed to Bodmin to await their trial at the next sessions. Since their committal, a bottle of spirits, two decanters, a corkscrew, razor, and towel have been found and identified as part of the stolen property. . PENRYN POLICE - CAUTION TO MARINE STORE DEALERS - On Friday the 30th ult., Thomas Lunney, a dealer in marine stores, was summoned before the Mayor Mr. J. B. Read, and Mr. Teague, magistrate, for not having his name and the words "dealer in marine stores" over his door, and for neglecting to keep a book to enter articles purchased, as required by the Act. It appeared from the evidence of police-constable Jarrett, that on the 22nd of October he visited the defendant's premises, and found that he had neglected to enter a sack he had purchased. The case having been fully proved, the defendant was fined GBP 5 and expenses, or one month's imprisonment. He was allowed time to pay the fine. . On the same day, John Knuckey, an itinerant collector of marine stores, and Elizabeth Tresidder, were charged with stealing a silver milk jug, the property of Mr. James Bull, of Beslawick, in the parish of Budock. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 2nd of October, Knuckey purchased the jug which was very antique, of Tresidder, for old metal, and disposed of it with some other metal to Mrs. Woolfe, marine store dealer, Gluvias street, who discovered it was silver, and lost no time in making the authorities acquainted with the circumstance, and gave the jug to police-officer Jarrett, who proceeded to make inquiries, and after much trouble succeeded in getting it identified by the prosecutor, who did not know he had lost it until it was shown to him by Jarrett. The prisoners were remanded on bail until Tuesday the 3rd of November, when they were discharged, as the prosecutor did not wish to press the case, Tresidder having been in his employ for some years. . St. AUSTELL - A correspondent writes as follows: The commemoration of Guy Fawkes, or Gunpowder Plot, was but little kept up in this town. Towards evening some little boys amused themselves by putting off squibs, crackers, &c., which the policemen had the courage to put a stop to; but later in the evening, when some young men were rolling ignited tar-barrels through a portion of the town and over the Bodmin and Truro roads, to the great peril of equestrians and annoyance to pedestrians, no police could be seen or found. One gentleman was unhorsed on the Truro road, but fortunately sustained no injury. Surely if the police are paid to preserve order in this town and neighbourhood, such neglect of duty ought not to pass unnoticed by those under whose control they act. . LISKEARD PETTY SESSIONS - We stated last week that Richard Oliver, William Wills, Charles Woolcock, and Richard Westlake were summoned before the magistrates, for furiously riding through the streets on Saturday night the 18th of October. At the adjourned hearing of this case on Thursday the 6th inst., there was not any further evidence to prove that Mr. Sweet, of St. Neot, met with his death from these men. The magistrates, however, thought it their duty, as a caution to others against racing their horses through the streets and on the highway, to inflict the heaviest penalty the law would allow, being GBP 5 and costs, amounting to about GBP 6 6s. each, and in default of payment, six weeks' imprisonment. The defendants determined at first to visit Bodmin gaol rather than pay the fine, but after being locked up for several hours, they paid the money and were discharged. . FATAL ACCIDENT AT WEST WHEAL BASSET - A lamentable accident occurred at West Wheal Bassett, on Thursday the 11th instant, by which a man named James Skewes lost his life. It appears that Skewes was employed in filling the skip at the bottom of the shaft, it being his duty when the skip was full to ring a bell communicating with the surface, to apprise the man at the whim, and he in turn to direct the engineman. The bell was rung and the skip lifted, but the empty skip returning before Skewes was aware of it, he was literally crushed to a shapeless mass. There appears to have been a great neglect somewhere, and a life has been sacrificed in consequence. The deceased was a singularly quiet and inoffensive man, and of considerable attainments as a common miner. . CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquest has been held before Mr. JAGOE, county coroner: At the Bell Inn, Liskeard, on the 7th instant, on the body of Mr. Joseph Baron, sen., late store-keeper at West Caradon Mine, who was walking in the courtyard adjoining his house, in Well-lane, Liskeard, when he suddenly fell to the ground, and expired immediately. Verdict, "Died by the visitation of God." Deceased was seventy-five years of age. . The following inquest has been held before Mr. DAVIES, deputy coroner for Penzance: On Saturday last, on the body of a child, found in the sewerage works of the town. It appeared that as John White was engaged at noon on Friday in bailing the water out of a cess-pit common to Nos. 2 and 3, Regent terrace, he found a female child floating on the surface of the water, which was six feet deep. Its back was up, and about half the child was out of the water. The attention of the town surveyor, and afterwards of the police inspector, was directed to the circumstance, and later in the day the body was examined by Mr. F. Boase. He found it to be that of a well grown female child in an advanced stage of decomposition. The lungs and body were like a past, and it was quite impossible to say if the child had been born alive. It was a fine one and appeared to have come to its full period, but all the marks by which it could be known whether it was born alive had disappeared. Judging from! all the circumstances he considered that the child had been born three or four months. He could discover no marks of violence. The head had burst, but that was probably from decomposition. Nothing transpired which could lead to the detection of the unnatural mother, and the matter was left to the police; the jury returned a verdict of "found dead." . ROYAL CORNWALL SAILORS' HOME - The following is the weekly report from the 4th to the 11th of November, inclusive: Remained by the last report, 9; admitted since, 8; discharged, 10; remaining 7. Of these, in the sick ward, remained by the last report, 3; admitted since, 4; cured, 2; remaining, 5. Of this number, simple fractures,1; internal disease, 3; sea scurvy, 1. Average number victualled each day, 15. Amount received from inmates, GBP 21; remaining in the superintendent's hands, GBP 17.

I have a great uncle, Thomas HAWKEY, born 1860, who is said to have left Idless (Kenwyn) for South Africa, and died there in 1884. Anyone have any information about Thomas? Eric Marshman NSW Memeber CFHS

Recent ROW postings prompted me to visit my forebear, Susan ROW, who married Richard STRAIGHT at St Allen 17 Jan 1702. Some years ago, I was unable to place Susan among several ROW families in the area. The Straight family seem to have come from Devon, and after a few generations, died out or returned to Devon. Susan and Richard Straight's great great grandson, Richard STRIGHT, and his wife, Mariamne nee HARRIS, were buried at Kenwyn. Their memorial stone has been used to repair the floor of Kenwyn Church. Has anyone information about Susan ROW or the SRAIGHT family? Eric Marshman NSW Member CFHS, DFHS

Dear Joy and Joanne Thank you so much for your help. I've been wondering about this one for some time, and although collecting lots of information, felt stumped. This information looks like it's on the right track. I've not been able to find a UK marriage between Richard Pascoe and a Lewis, so it would seem likely that they have married in the USA. I'll try to find some information on the George Lewis and confirm his occupation. It would be interesting to see if he was also involved in the mining industry. Many thanks for your help. It's much appreciated.

Regards, Joy ________________________________ From: Rowena Gough <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 13 November 2012, 1:06 Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Richard Pascoe and Edith Halse Dear All, The Edward PASCOE I previously posted on, had a brother Richard Harvey PASCOE, son of Edward PASCOE 1833-1908 and Emily HARVEY 1832-1912. I'll post separately as I'm searching for his wife. Richard PASCOE was born 17 Apr 1862 Ludgvan and bapt 17 July 1865 Methodist Chapel, Ludgvan. He started using the middle name of Harvey in the USA. Richard PASCOE was a mining engineer and manager, who filled prominent positions in the mines of the far west US. His last appointment was Superintendent of Mammoth Mines, Shoshone County, Idaho, where he lost his life at 47 years, on the night of 26 April 1910, in an avalanche which overwhelmed his house killing he and his two children, Eddie and Ina. His wife Edith Pascoe and daughter Katie survived. Richard PASCOE was included on his parents monumental inscription in St. Neot Cemetery. There were a number of news stories in north American newspapers that are available digitally on "Chronicalling America" website - one below at the bottom of email. Richard PASCOE married Edith HALSE c.1886. I have not been able to find a marriage registration - could anyone help with this and also her birth reg. or even a baptism? I havn't been able to find anything on OPC or FreeBMD under Halse. Some further info on her and her children below. The Cornish Global Migration Programme, names Richard Harvey PASCOE's wife as Edith HALSE, born Gwennap in 1869. The 1871 Census for Trevarth Village, Gwennap, shows Edith HALSE, 3, born Gwennap, with parents Richard HALSE 42, b. Gwennap, Miner, Mary, 44, b. Gwennap, and siblings John, Mary Jane, Catherine, Richard and Eth. The 1881 Census records the HALSE family in the same location, mother Mary HALSE is a widow, age 50, Edith is 12, sister Katie is 20, a Tailoress, and brother Richard is 15, a Tin Miner. Edith and Richard Harvey PASCOE had three children. 1). Ina PASCOE born c.1887 England - 1910 Idaho 2). Eddie PASCOE born c.1892 Butte, Montana, USA - 1910 Idaho. 3). Katharine J. PASCOE b. 1894 Montana, USA. She married John James LEAN (b.1892 St. Gluvias) in 1914 in Falmouth, and they had a daughter Ina P. LEAN, born 1916 Falmouth. 1930 US Census, the LEAN family were in New York, where he was a secretary to the New York Port Authority. Back to Edith (nee Halse) Pascoe In 1904 Edith PASCOE and children arrived Ellis Island on the ship SS St. Paul, on 4 Aug 1904, from Southampton England (27 July 1904). All noted as US citizens: Mrs. Edith Pascoe 34, Ina 15, Katie 10 and Eddie 10. The 1910 US Census lists Edith and Katie PASCOE living in Coeur D'Alene, Kootenai County, Idaho as boarders: Edith Pasco 41, widow, issue 3 children, 1 living child, born England, parents born England, year emigrated to the USA 18_5 (unclear), and Katie Pasco, boarder, 17, single, born Montana. The following year in 1911, Edith PASCOE was back in Cornwall with her daughter Katie, and were visitors in the home of brother-in-law William PASCOE, and his family. The 1911 C. shows them in St. Neot, Liskeard, Cornwall, enumerated as: Edith Pascoe, Sister-in-law, 43, Widow, born Trevarth, Lanner, Cornwall, U.S.A. Citizen (Visitor); Katie Louisa Pascoe, Niece, 19, Single, born United States of America, U.S.A. Citizen (Visitor). Edith is in the 1920 US Census, with her sister in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York: Edith Pascoe age 50, widowed, occ. general nurse, birthplace Utah, parents from England. Unable to find her in the 1930 or 1940 US Federal Census. She is likely to have died in New York, where her daughter's family was living. Kind regards to all, Rowena ........................................................... The San Francisco Call, Tuesday, March 1, 1910 Avalanches Reported Through Wide Area in Couer d'Alene Mining District. Spokane, wash., Feb. 28.- Wife Escapes, Husband Killed. "My husband, where is he?; cried Mrs Pascoe, wife of the dead superintendent of the Strandard Mine, when rescuers pulled her out of a mangled mass of twisted iron bed rails under 40 feet of snow at Mace. Only a cast iron bedpost which protected her saved her from instant death. Her husband, who was sleeping alongside her, was battered beyond recognition. Three children of the Pascoe family lost their lives, but little Katie was rescued by a toiling crew of brawny miners after being wounded on the head by a piece of flying steel. Mrs. R. H. Pascoe, who was rescued at Mace this morning badly injured, relates her experiences as follows: "I was sleeping soundly when our house was struck by the slide. The roar of the avalanche awakened me and I had just sat up in bed wondering what the noise was when our house was struck. I was thrown from the bed across the room and the iron bed was hurled on top of me. I remember nothing after that until rescued." Those who dug Mrs Pascoe from the ruins of her home found her securely pinned down by the twisted frame of the iron bed. Her life was probably saved by this protection. ------------------------------- Listmom: [email protected] or [email protected] Visit the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) web page for transcription information http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- Listmom: [email protected] or [email protected] Visit the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) web page for transcription information http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- Listmom: [email protected] or [email protected] Visit the OPC (Online Parish Clerk) web page for transcription information http://www.cornwall-opc.org/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Many thanks for the suggestions in finding my ancestors who went off to South Africa. I found one ancestor - Nigel Elford Prout (born 1881 South Petherwin/Launceston) on a shipping list on Findmypast which first started my search in the S.A. I only wish the S.A records were organised along the same lines as our National Archives. Anything of interest in our N.Archives you can send for and pay with a credit card. Receipt of the records follow very shortly after. Unless things have changed in the past couple of years, not so with the S.A. records. With Nigel Elford Prout, I was lucky in finding a very kind person who looked up some details for me. I didn't like to push my luck so looked around for anyone who could get a copy of his Will. One person said they wanted £25 to get the Will, another, £10 (cash) - I chose the latter. A risky thing to do, but It was worth it in the long run as it gave me his wife's name and also named a son. With the free search recently of the WW1 records on Ancestry, I found (quite by accident) Nigel's brother - Frederick Prout - also in South Africa through his war pension details. Had no idea that he also went to S.A. and I can now stop searching for him in the British census/FreeBMDs records. He is nowhere to be found on the Passenger Lists, but from ANCESTRY24 (a free search) there is mention of a collection online called - Transvaal Deceased Estates Index - which might help anyone searching for their S.A ancestors. There is mention of a Frederick Prout with his date of death, passport number and which archive I can find him in. Have no idea if he is mine, but will try to find out. Just hope some of this might help others with ancestors lost in South Africa. Isabel.

Hello Isabel and listers with UK- SA research... Whilst the dates included in the following book maybe too early for your enquiry, it is a very good resource for anyone researching their ancestors who may have migrated to and from South Africa...

The Public Record Office, Kew, England holds no archival material concerning the CFS...... The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts, Chancery Lane London who hold a National Register of Archives have no entry for CFS........The only record of the names of these children is in the report of the committee who investigated their living conditions in 1839 which appears in Cape Archives OPB 1/5 No 5..........the reports of this committee can also be found in Irish University Press Series: British Parliamentary Papers, Colonies Africa.
