Just noticed that on the British Old Newspapers site (and that's not it's official title), the West Briton starts in 1862. Nice to know our work is still of value. Given the condition of the papers in 1836 - 1839, and the condition of the type (blops of ink being the greatest problem) 1840-49, the earlier papers will probably never get to those websites; it takes a human eye & mind to decipher what was intended. So guess we'll keep going for a while longer - at least til 1862. Cheers, Julia - PS, Does anyone know if the earliest papers, from 1810 onward, were ever filmed? Are they available for transcribing?? ...................................................................................................

Hi, Redruth is over 20 miles from Lanlivery so unlikely this is the same family.

This is not my main line but if you are missing William Hodge YELLAND bap St Stephen Wesleyan 1833 (son of John & Ann YELLAND), he married Maria LAWRY (dau of Joseph LAWRY and Blanch TRETHEWEY) in 1860 in the registration district of Islington, Middlesex. They had 4 children that I know of - all registered births at Hackney. I believe William's death is the one registered in Hackney in 1883 - aged 49. Best wishes, Irene

West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 31st October, 1856. NOTICE - I JAMES RODDA, of Binner Downs, Crowan, hereby give notice that I will not be answerable for any Debts my wife GRACE RODDA may contract after this date. Signed, James Rodda, Jun. Dated Crowan, October 18, 1866. ECCLESIASTICAL - The Rev. J. H. STOCKHAM, perpetual curate of Newlyn, (west) has been promoted to the perpetual curacy of Nether-exe, Devon. The curacy of Newlyn is alternately in the patronage of the crown and the bishop, and is estimated at GBP130 a year. COUNTY CONSTABULARY - The following are the names of the gentlemen who have, up to this time, announced themselves as candidates for the office of Chief Constable in this county:- 1. FULBERT ARCHER, Es., Capt. R. C. RANGERS, since withdrawn. 2. NICHOLAS KENDALL, Esq., Captain R. D. and C. MINERS ARTILLERY, - said to have withdrawn. 3. E. C. PHILLPOTTS, Esq., late a Lieut in ---Regt. 4. Major GLYNN, H.E.I.C.S. 5. Colonel SEYMOUR HAMILTON, R.A. 6. SOMERSET KEOGH, Esq., of the Irish Constabulary. 7. Lieut. Colonel W. R. GILBERT, R.A. The names are given in the order in which they declared themselves. HELSTON - Mr. RICHARD J. CUNNACK[?] has been appointed postmaster of this town. SURGICAL OPERATION - On Thursday the 23rd instant, Mr. JAMES MUDGE, surgeon, performed a skilful operation on a child just passed his seventh year, son of Mr. DUPEN, of Hayle. The operation was completed in the short space of nine minutes and a half. The stone extracted weighed four drachms six grains. The operation reflected great credit and called forth the highest commendation on Mr. Mudge, by the medical gentlemen who were in attendance, and others who witnessed the operation. The child is convalescent and doing well. LIGHTHOUSE AT GODREVY ISLAND - We are glad to hear that a gentleman from the Trinity Board landed at St. Ives, on Wednesday morning, from the "Cornwall" steamer, on special survey in connection with the erection of a lighthouse on or near Godrevy island. The following has been posted about the town of St. Ives:- "The late petition for the above object having been presented to the Trinity House, by MICHAEL WILLIAMS, Esq., M.P., the following letter has been received from him by the Rev. J. W. MURRAY:- Trevince, October 25th, 1856. Dear Sir, I have much pleasure in being able to inform you that your memorial has been placed before the Trinity Board, who have decided that a lighthouse shall be erected in the most eligible position for the purpose required of signalising the dangerous rocks near Godrevy. Believe me to be, dear sir, very faithfully yours, Michael Williams. To the Rev. J. W. Murray, Hayle." Our correspondent adds that too many thanks cannot be given to the Rev. J. W. Murray for getting up the memorial, and to Mr. Williams for presenting it. The extent of benefit that will be derived from the light house, in life and property, never can be known. AN ABANDONED SHIP - The missing crew of the abandoned vessel, the "Lizzie Aisbitt" of Shields, have been picked up by a Penzance vessel, the "Celerity," Captain JOHN STEVENS, and landed at Gibraltar. The "Lizzie Aisbitt," as we stated last week, was brought into Penzance from 200 miles S.W. of the Isles of Scilly, after vainly essaying to make the Irish coast. The "Lizzie Aisbitt," took in at Taganrog 2500 quarters of wheat, and has discharged at Penzance the same quantity in good condition and about 300 quarters in bad. The increase is accounted for by the steam and heat arising from the damaged wheat swelling the good above it, but not so much as to injure it. The crew saved their clothes, but yet they left behind them a valuable chronometer and other articles. CAUTION TO DRIVERS - On Wednesday last, before the Mayor of Truro and Mr. PADDON, magistrate, RICHARD PET, of Launceston, driver of the Vivid omnibus, was summoned for that he did not keep that omnibus on the left or near side of the street, according to the provisions of the statute. The charge arose out of an accident which happened on the 7th inst. The Vivid omnibus had brought passengers from Launceston, and taken some of them to the West Cornwall Railway station. On returning and going down Lemon-street, the omnibus was driven against a horse belonging to Mr. GEORGE CLIFT, which a boy was riding. The boy was thrown off, and the horse killed. Mr. EDWARDS appeared on behalf of the defendant, and several witnesses were examined on both sides. One of the witnesses, Mr. COCK, solicitor, gave evidence that he was standing in view of the spot, near his door in Lemon-street at the time, and that he distinctly saw that the omnibus was on the wrong side of the street, and that if it had been on the right side, the accident would not have occurred. After a long investigation the magistrates were satisfied that the omnibus was on the wrong side of the street; but in consideration of the driver's good character, they mitigated the penalty to 10s. and costs. TRURO POLICE - On Monday last, before the Mayor and Mr. NANKIVELL, JAMES HARRISON, alias LARRY O'BRIEN, who tramps the country begging, was charged with assaulting JOHN RICE, and his wife THOMASINE, in Calenick-street, on Saturday night last. Rice and his wife were carrying water into their house when Harrison came up drunk, used bad language to Rice, and without any provocation, struck him a violent blow on the mouth and knocked out one of his teeth. He also struck Mrs. Rice, when she tried to assist her husband. Police constable PRATER came up and took Harrison into custody. He was fined GBP1, or fourteen days' hard labour, for each assault. On Tuesday, before the Mayor, THOMAS PHILLIPS, a miner of Gwennap, was charged with deserting from the Royal Cornwall Rangers militia. The desertion took place in 1855. Sergeant BARON stated that he took the prisoner at Gwennap several days before. The prisoner asked to be allowed to go to his father's house to change his clothes, to which the sergeant consented and accompanied him there. The sergeant was there much abused by the prisoner's father, and a number of miners came in and used threatening language, in consequence of which the sergeant could not venture to take the prisoner away with him. But on Monday evening last the prisoner, fearing the consequences, went to Mr. COLLINS, county magistrate, and gave himself up as a deserter. It appeared he had deserted once before, and was tried by a court-martial in Bodmin, and sentenced to a short imprisonment. He was now committed for six weeks to hard labour in the house of correction. On Wednesday, before the Mayor and Mr. PADDON, a wagoner called WILLIAM HAYLEY, in the employ of Mr. HAWKS, of Scorrier, was charged with assaulting JAMES SIMS, a boy twelve years of age. The boy said that he and another lad were playing with skipping ropes at Richmond-hill on Saturday last, when the wagoner without any cause, ran after him with a whip, and gave him a severe cut across his face. The boy's eye was discoloured, and his face much marked. The wagoner's statement was that the boys ran behind his wagon, and pulled out some hemp, and that this boy was one of the offenders; he did not intend to injure the boy when he struck him. A female, however, who was standing near the spot, gave evidence that Sims was not one of the boys who pulled hemp out of the wagon. The magistrates considered the assault proved, and fined the defendant 10s. and costs, or one week's imprisonment. CAMBORNE POLICE - On Friday evening last, information was received by police constable WARD, from OULDS, the police constable at Penzance, that the house of Mr. HARVEY, Rosehill Cottage, near Penzance, had been broken into and robbed. A description of the property stolen accompanied the information to Ward; and on Saturday morning, on searching a lodging-house at Camborne, he found a large quantity of wearing apparel, some of which answered the description he had received of property stolen. He then, with the assistance of NOBLE, a constable, succeeded in apprehending a man named JOHN CAMERON and a woman named ELLEN WILLIAMS, who cohabited with him; and charged them with the robbery. On the same day, Ward went to Penzance, where some of the articles were identified; and he ascertained that other robberies had been committed at Ludgvan, St. Erth, and St. Erth Praze. Ward and Noble proceeded to those places, taking with them some of the property which they had found; and at Ludgvan some of the property was identified as belonging to Mr. Martin. The article4s stolen from Rosehill, comprised two coats, two pairs of trousers, three waistcoats, five silk handkerchiefs, one shirt, umbrella, and a razor; and from Ludgvan one coat, a pair of trousers, one waistcoat, one shirt, one pair of boots, two handkerchiefs, and a brooch; The whole of which have been recovered. On Tuesday, the prisoners were taken before Mr. REYNOLDS, at Trevenson, and were committed for trial on the charge of robbery at Rosehill Cottage; but were remanded on the other charge till Wednesday, when they were fully committed for trial on that charge also. We understand the there are other charges of a similar character against the same parties. COMMITTAL - JOHN GATLEY, for many years postman at Saint Columb, since carrier of the bags from Ladock to Grampond, and lately from Newlyn to and from the latter place was, on Tuesday last, committed to the county gaol for twenty-one days, for sealing an umbrella, the property of a miner at Newlyn. THE LATE ROBBERY AT PENWARNE - A very valuable double-barrelled gun, said to be worth sixty guineas, part of the property stolen from Penwarne, is now in the custody of Mr. THOMAS, the active constable at Ponsadooth, who found it, in company with a young man called OPIE, in a croft, on Thursday last, hid in a quantity of furze only three feet from where the silver was found. COACH ACCIDENTS - On Friday last, as the evening mail was entering the town of St. Austell, a man named SIMMONS, of Broadoak, was knocked down by one of the leaders. Had he fallen across the road he must have been killed on the spot; as it was, he was very badly cut about the head, and otherwise much injured. There is, however, some hope of his recovery. On Sunday afternoon, the 19th instant, the axle of one of the wheels of the down mail broke at Looe Lane-end, about two miles from Liskeard. There were many passengers on the coach, but no one was injured. ACCIDENT - As Mr. J. R. BRANWELL and Mr. J. RICHARDS were proceeding in a gig down East-street, Penzance, on Friday morning last, the horse tripped and fell, and both occupants of the gig were thrown out with considerable force. Mr. Richards escaped unhurt, but Mr. Branwell, fell on his arm and sustained a compound fracture, near the elbow, besides several bruises and a severe shock. The arm was set the same evening by Messrs. COUCH and DODGE, and Mr. Branwell is progressing favourably. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. HICHENS, county coroner:- On Monday last, in the parish of Ludgvan, on the body of MARY JANE ROBERTS, aged between three and four years, whose death was occasioned by her pulling down on herself the bed or bottom of a cart, which was standing on its end against the end of her grandmother's house, with whom she lived. Verdict, "accidental death." EXTRAORDINARY STORY - The Western Times relates the following:- Opposite the post-office in Totnes, is a picture-shop kept by Mr. BASTOW TAYLOR. A few days ago you might have observed that to keep the door of the shop open, a piece of reddish stone was placed against it; but you would hardly have conjectured that the "stone" was a monster diamond! Such, however, is the fact. One day this "stone" was scrubbed, and its owner was astounded at its wonderful brilliancy. Thinking that it was either a diamond or something like it, he went to Teignmouth to show a piece of the newly-discovered treasure to a lapidary there, who pronounced it to be a veritable diamond; but recommended Mr. Taylor to send the specimen to a diamond merchant in London for his opinion.

Thank you to the people who searched for the death notice for Angelina Darlington PIDWELL. I now have a copy of the entry that I was after from The Cornishman of Thursday 19 August 1880. PIDWELL. – August 10th, at Mount Charles, near St Austell, Angelina Darlington, the only and much loved daughter of Mr. John Tregonning, and wife of Mr. William Pidwell, shipbroker, aged 27. Her last words were –“Going to rest. Christ is with me”. It is easy to get caught out by the text recognition as I assumed that Angelina’s father’s name was mis-spelt when it wasn’t. It is apparent from this that the family of John TREGONNING definitely thought that he was still alive but perhaps he was dead and nobody told the family until after this notice appeared? Regards, Christine -----Original Message----- From: Christine Tregonning [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 30 October 2012 10:34 a.m. To: '[email protected]' Subject: Death at Sea Hello, Just over a week ago I asked the list if anyone had access to the British Newspaper Archive as I was after a death notice for Angelina Darlington PIDWELL which was published in the Cornishman in August 1880. I didn't get any response to my request so I thought I would provide some more information as to the reason behind the request. I am looking for two gentlemen by the name of John TREGONING or TREGONNING. One of these gentlemen is the father of Angelina. This John TREGONING was born at Carbean in St Austell in 1828 and went to Australia between 1852 and 1861. There is a John TREGONING of about the right age who arrived in Victoria aboard the TIPTREE in Jan 1856. I don't know whether this is the John TREGONING that I am looking for as there were four men with the same surname on this ship and three of them including John appear to have been travelling together. In 1861 a John TREGONING who was a miner at a place called Linton was robbed of £17 pounds in Ballarat and it is possible that this is the John that I am looking for especially as he was on his way to Pleasant Creek which was close to where his brother James was living. In May 1864 a John TREGONING or TREGONNING departed on the True Briton which was bound for London (although some passengers left the boat at the Scilly Isles) and his death at sea was later recorded although the date of death was given as 20/4/64 which was before the ship actually departed. This John TREGONNING was 35 and was born in Cornwall. The cause of death was phthisis. The 1851 Census has 8 men of this name born five years either side of 1828, while the 1861 census has only 4. In terms of age the John that I am looking for is the closest match to the man that died aboard the True Briton. The problem that I have is that in the 1871 and 1881 census John's wife Maria is recorded as being married although in the 1891 census she is recorded as being a widow. One of the death notices for Angelina mentions her father although the surname is not spelled correctly. As I don't have access to the British Newspaper Archive I was interested in reading the full entry to see if there was any mention of a place where he was supposed to be living. I would also be interested to know if there was any form of protocol for notifying relatives of a death at sea. The death is recorded in Board of Trade documents? But obviously this is not the original notification as there are other deaths on other ships recorded. Would there be other subsidiary records that would provide more information including the correct date of death. Any help or useful ideas would be appreciated. Regards, Christine

Hi Tom Yes that is one way, I tend to search across all publications usually as even if a place is not covered announcements were often published in other papers around the country (it filled the pages mostly) But your stated method is a good way too Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 31/10/2012 19:27, Liz & Tom Thompson wrote: > > In case it helps, all I did was insert a date range, clicked people, and all > the BMDs came up.
