West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser. Friday 2nd May, 1851. THE GREAT EXHIBITION - The notice taken in the Times paper of the 19th of April, of the polished granite, porphyry, and serpentine, exhibited from this county, is calculated to convey the impression that the larger portion of the articles exhibited in this section, are the production of the "Penzance Serpentine company." This is not the case, as the articles exhibited by that company are in serpentine only, and of that material. The candelabra, as well as many other beautiful articles, are exhibited by Messrs. WILLIAM PEARCE and SONS, of Lemon-street, Truro. The Messrs. Pearce have also many fine examples of the polished granite, steatites, &c., of this county. GRAMPOUND LITERARY INSTITUTION - On Tuesday evening last, an exceedingly interesting lecture was delivered at this Institution by the Rev. T. BE. HART, of Tregoney, on "The Electric Telegraph," with experiments. At the close a vote of thanks was unanimously given to the lecturer for the treat which he afforded the audience. FREEMASONRY - On Monday last, a very interesting event in freemasonry took place at Redruth in the revival of the Druids Lodge of "Love and Liberality," which originally stood No. 113 on the list of lodges on the Register of the United Grand Lodge of England, but which for the last twenty years, in consequence of uncontrollable events, has ceased to meet. Some of the brethren of the old Lodge at Redruth, who, though the iron hand of time has pressed heavily on them, still possess the faithful heart and kindred feelings of masons, in conjunction with some younger brethren of the fraternity, resolved to resuscitate the ancient "Druids," which for so many years was a guiding star amongst the Lodges of the Province. Accordingly they presented a memorial to the Grand Lodge to grant them a fresh constitution under the old title, which the Grand Master complied with, the only difference being that the reconstituted Lodge now stands 859 on the Register instead of 113 as formerly. At five o'clock, the Lodge was close tiled, when the Very Worshipful D.P.G.M. for Cornwall, Brother ELLIS, took the Master's chair, and as it was the occasion of re-opening the Lodge, he appointed the officers for the day chiefly from those holding offices in the Provincial Lodge, and exclusively from other Lodges, the new officers of the Druids taking their places on the left of such officers. The Lodge was then opened with solemn prayer, and after the Dispensation was read and the usual ceremonials on re-constitution had been duly concluded, two candidates for initiation were introduced, and were regularly admitted into the mysteries of the craft, with all ancient usages and customs; two other candidates were also named, but they postponed their honours to a future occasion. In addition to the Brethren of the Lodge many attended from various towns in the county, the "Phoenix," of Truro, being fully represented by its Master and all his officers. After the business was concluded, the Brethren were called from labour to refreshment, and proceeded to the Refectory in Masonic procession, where they found a luxurious repast provided for them by their newly initiated Brother CHARLES ANDREW, who, although he has so lately succeeded the former respected and lamented hostess, has well and worthily sustained her reputation and given a promise of the hotel being conducted under his judicious management, with credit to himself and satisfaction to his guests. The repast was all that could be desired. In the course of the evening the usual Masonic toasts were given and suitably acknowledged, and the brethren separated at an early hour much gratified with the proceedings of the day. CORNWALL AND DEVONSHIRE WRESTLING AT COPENHAGEN HOUSE - The weather on Wednesday proved all that could be desired, and a large and highly respectable company assembled, the large arena set apart for the sports being crowded. The play throughout was first-rate, and the excellent manner in which the whole proceedings were carried out, gave every satisfaction, reflecting alike the greatest credit on the arrangement of Mr. GARRETT, and the management of Mr. F. OLVER. In order, if possible, to bring the sports to a conclusion in the evening, it was mutually agreed that half the amount should be contended for, and the number of players limited, fourteen standards contending for the prizes. Some of the bouts were long and severe, and, judging from the applause occasionally given, no doubt could be entertained that the large party present were highly gratified with the skill displayed by the players. At nearly five o'clock the standards commenced play, when KIRBY, of Cumberland, cleverly defeated ROWE (C.) after which LOCKYER (a guardsman), downed GOODMAN (C.) and then a long and tedious bout took place between BARTLE (C.) and GLOYNE (D.) which had to be decided by a toss, the latter coming off victor. PIERCE (C.) threw LUTTON (D.), DYER (C.) threw WEBBER (D.), RATTENBURY (D.) threw PETHRIDGE (D.), and GONINAN gave in to Bartle, both of Cornwall. Seven were now left in, and Gloyne was the odd man. Pierce, a clever player, soon put Kirby on his back, and Dyer defeated Rattenbury after a sharp tussle, after which Lockyer cleverly defeated Bartle, who is considered one of the best men from Cornwall - rather a lucky fall for his opponent - the losing man at once challenging his victor for another trial next day for a stake. The contests now become very exciting, Pierce and Dyer being the next to enter the ring, the little one again becoming victorious; and Lockyer, after an exciting contest with the giant Gloyne, brought his opponent to the ground. Pierce and Lockyer had now to enter the ring for the first prize, and loud and long were the plaudits given to Pierce for the tact and skill he displayed against his more powerful opponent, who ultimately made the little one (9st. 12lbs.) kiss the ground, the victor being 13st. After the sports the prizes were awarded by Mr. Olver in the following manner:- First prize to Lockyer (D.); second to Pierce (c.); third to Gloyne (D.); fourth to Dyer (C.); and the fifth to Bartle (C.). A wrestling match commenced on Mr. DODD's grounds, at Eldad, on Monday last, and terminated on Wednesday, for men of seven score fifteen pounds. There was a large number of players present, and some fine sport was shown. The prizes were distributed as follows:- BICKLE, (D.) first; TAPSCOTT, (D.) second: and COURTIS, (C.) third. HELSTON FLORA DAY - This annual jubilee, on the 8th of May, is likely to be more gaily celebrated than it has been for some years past. During the past week the town has exhibited evident signs that the inhabitants are determined to keep this pleasurable occasion in a way becoming the memorable year 1851. Parties of dancers are already forming, and the houses and gardens in the town have been cleaning up, and now appear with all the taste and neatness that can be displayed. There appears to be a united desire amongst all parties to preserve this festival, which is hallowed by its antiquity, and endeared to the inhabitants by many pleasing associations. Centuries have not obliterated the charms which attend it, and the memory of the old inhabitants of the town dwells upon the Flora Day, as recalling the enjoyments of their youth. Helston has been a place of considerable note in the annals of ancient history, having in olden time been connected with a fort which occupied the site of the present Bowling Green, and under its protection the town enjoyed many privileges at various periods. The origin of the festival is uncertain; antiquarians have made great researches, but have obtained little information concerning it. It may have been to preserve the memory of some ancient triumph, or the deliverance of the town from some calamity, or something of that sort, but the origin is wrapped in mystery. It is generally supposed that it is an imitation of the Roman Floralia, which is considered the parent of the family of May feasts, and was instituted by Flora, who was deified in Rome as the goddess of flowers. This appears the most reasonable construction to be put on its origin, when the manner in which the festival is conducted is considered. On the Helston Flora Day, innocence and gaiety breathe their influence over every heart, each incident is converted into a source of mirthfulness; and sorrow, but the magic spell of sympathy, is brightened into joy. Great preparations are making at the Angel Inn; the Assembly-room is re-decorating, and Sir R. R. VYVYAN, Bart., M.P., and Mr. POPHAM, Mr. GLYNN GRYLLS, and Mr. FREDERICK HILL, have undertaken the office of stewards. The ball is expected to be a very brilliant one, the names of the stewards being a sufficient guarantee that the best arrangements will be made. In the evening there will be a display of fireworks under the superintendence of an experienced pyrotechnist. ON DIT - It is said that a marriage is soon to take place between Mr. RICHARD FORD, of Heavitree, Exeter, and Miss MOLESWORTH, only sister of Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH, Bart., M.P. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS - On Friday last, Mr. HENRY CROCKER, of Northhill, by Launceston, was admitted by examination a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. In July, 1849, he also passed the several examinations at the Edinburgh University, the Principal and Professors of which conferred on him the degree of M.D.; previous to which he had likewise pass the matriculation examination at the University of London. ST. GERMANS UNION - At the first meeting of the newly-elected Board of Guardians on Friday last, the Rev. S. WALLIS ROBERTS was unanimously elected chairman, and the Rev. Dr. FLETCHER and the Rev. E. TRELAWNY were elected vice-chairmen for the ensuing year. MARINE BOARD - On Wednesday the 16th ult., the following passed their examination in navigation and seamanship, before Captain WALKER, the examiner for the port of Plymouth:- JOHN ABBOT, of Fowey, mate, and JOHN RICHARDS, of Truro, mate. THE OLD "AURORA." - The artisans of the dockyard at Devonport, having completed the breaking up of the "Astaea," 46, frigate, have commenced breaking up the "Aurora," 46, late the coal hulk, at Falmouth. The "Aurora," was a capture from the French, and was in her day, one of the fastest sailers in the navy. We have heard a story to the effect that the Captain of a French vessel which had been captured, looking towards a vessel in company with that on board which he was, said, is that the "Aurora?" On being told it was, he said, "You have not her proper trim - I commanded her at one time, and she then would beat every thing in our navy." She breaks up very hard, having been strongly fastened. SHIP FOUNDERED - Fowey 30th April, Mr. HICKS, a pilot, reports that whilst on the look out his morning early on the hill at Polruan, he observed a large barque suddenly founder, about five miles off Polperro. She was bearing down channel, and two boats were near at the time, and they now continue on the spot. Up to the present moment we have not heard any further particulars respecting her name or destination, or whether any of the crew have been saved. It is highly probable that there is a considerable loss of life. EXETER DISTRICT COURT OF BANKRUPTCY - At the sitting of this Court at Plymouth, on the 24th ult., JAMES HILL, a miller who, for some time, carried on business at Saltern Mills, Saltash, and had been adjudicated a bankrupt, was summoned for examination. The Official Assignee said that the whole of the estate, so far as it was at present known, did not exceed GBP24. Mr. R. G. EDMONDS, on the part of the creditors, examined the bankrupt in reference to the circumstances under which he was said to have lately lost a purse containing between GBP40 and GBP50; and on this subject the commissioner expressed a very strong opinion as to the unsatisfactory nature of the bankrupt's answers. The case was adjourned. LAUNCESTON COUNTY COURT - This court was held on Wednesday last, when there were twenty-three cases entered for hearing. SARGENT v. PELLOW - This action was brought to recover the possession of certain plots of closes of land situate at Lucket, in the parish of Stokeclimsland, now and for forty years in the occupation of the defendant, WILLIAM PELLOW the elder. This case occupied the court for several hours; his Honor gave judgment for defendant, with costs. RICHARD PENGELLY FRISE, insolvent petitioner, had his final order granted him at this court. IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS - At the Helston Petty Sessions on Saturday last, a woman named ELIZABETH MICHELL, and WILLIAM MICHELL her son, were summoned at the instance of the Honourable ANNA MARIA AGAR, for having on the 14th of April, fraudulently removed and conveyed away certain goods chattels belonging to Elizabeth Michell, from the estate of Tremenheere in Wendron, to prevent distraining the same for rent. The case was brought under the 11 Geo. II, c. 19. Mr. HILL appeared on behalf of the honourable Anna Maria Agar, and Mr. PLOMER for the defendants. The evidence showed that the estate of Tremenheere was formerly occupied by Elizabeth Michell's husband, who died about four years since, and the estate has since been in her occupation at the rent of GBP100 a year. The arrears of rent due amount to GBP136. William Michell is her son and lived with his mother. The estate is about sixty-two acres of arable and pasture land, and forty acres of crofts, and Mrs. Agar has expended nearly GBP400 within the last few years in buildings and improvements, and allowed defendant GBP20 per cent. on the rent since 1847. On the 17th of April, the local agent of Mrs. Agar, from information he received, attended on the estate and found that all the cattle and goods had been removed, and a part of the property was subsequently traced to the possession of Mr. JOHN GRIGG, a farmer of Wendron, viz: a harvest waggon, value GBP6; a thrashing machine, GBP10; and a mare and colt, GBP10. The goods were identified as the property of defendant, Elizabeth Michell, and it appeared that Grigg purchased them a few days before the removal and paid for them on the 17th of April, and Elizabeth Michell gave a receipt for the amount. The goods were sent to Grigg's estate on Monday the 14th, without his knowledge, and the waggon was put in an outhouse belonging to Mr. JAMES THOMAS. Mr. Grigg, on cross-examination, said that he had seen a quantity of cattle on defendant's estate on Sunday the 13th of April, exceeding the value of GBP50, and Mr. Plomer contended that more than GBP50 worth must have been removed from the estate, and their worships had therefore no jurisdiction in the case. Mr. Hill replied on this point, and the bench overruled the objection. Mr. Plomer then addressed the bench on behalf of the defendants. The Chairman said the court were of opinion that the charge had been proved against Elizabeth Michell, and ordered her to pay GBP52, being double the value of the goods found at Mr. Grigg's, and in default of there not being sufficient distress, to be committed for six months to hard labour. COMMITTAL - On Saturday last, JANE CLEMOW, of St. Stephens in Branwell, was committed by Mr. E. COODE jun. to the House of Correction at Bodmin for twenty-one days to hard labour, as a rogue and vagabond. SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM GUNPOWDER - On Monday last, as two men named MATTHEW NICHOLAS, and EDWARD TREMBATH, were engaged in blasting rocks, at a place called the Four Parishes, in the parish of Morvah, an accident occurred through their incaution in placing near them from six to eight pounds of powder in an open tub. A spark from the hammer fell into the powder, which instantly exploded, and although providentially no serious damage was done to the eyes or limbs of the parties, both of them were very severely burnt. Trembath's clothes were almost all consumed, and he has since been confined to his bed. Two of Nicholas's children who were standing near at the time of the explosion, were much scorched. CORONERS' INQUESTS - The following inquests have been held before Mr. GILBERT HAMLEY:- On Tuesday last, in the parish of Linkinhorne, on the body of Mr. JOHN POAT, a farmer of that parish. Deceased came down stairs in the morning and ate his breakfast as usual, and was seen shortly after by his housekeeper carrying some meat to his pigs. A few minutes after, his opposite neighbour observed that deceased had fallen down in the pig's-house, and his legs were lying outside the door. He immediately went to him and with other assistance removed him to his house where he almost immediately expired; he was a particularly healthy and active man. Verdict, "apoplexy." On Saturday last, at Launceston, on the body of JANE VARLOW, who was found dead in her bed; she went to bed on the previous evening apparently in her usual good health. A little boy who slept in the same room hearing the baby (who was sleeping with deceased) cry, took it out of deceased's bed at four o'clock in the morning. Deceased did not complain of any illness at that time, and handed the child to him, but at daylight he discovered she was dead. Verdict, "visitation of God." On the 23rd ult., an inquest was held at Mousehole on the body of RICHARD PEZZACK, master of the barque "Mary," of Penzance, whose sudden death took place as the vessel was entering the harbour. Verdict, "died by the visitation of God." BANKRUPTS - LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1851, from the London Gazette. Tuesday, April 29, 1851. - JAMES HILL, Miller, Saltash, Cornwall, May 22nd and June 19, at eleven, at the Exeter District Court. HERNAMAN, official assignee, Exeter; EDMONDS and SONS, Plymouth; STOGDON, Exeter.

Hi Everyone, Sorry, in my previous email I listed St. Cleer as the place of marriage of Matthew Honycombe and Joane Rainholde, when it fact it was Morval, best wishes, Lorna

Hi Everyone, Is anyone else researching the above couple? I am interested to know if anyone has parents for either one. There is a family tree online that claims the Honycombe's in St. Cleer may have originated in Calstock, but they are missing the connection. I'd like to know if anyone has found the connection, Thanks, Lorna

It seems a long time since I've posted anything on the Cornish list but I have a question of DEBELL or variations. Henry DEBELL was born in St Martins, Looe c.1823 and married Louisa STEVENS in 1845. It's not my direct line so unworthy of an investment in a certificate at the moment. I've looked at the OPC site, FreeReg and LDS and there is nothing available. They appear to have had 3 children all born in Devonport. Any sightings much appreciated. Liz www.btinternet.com/~e.newbery OPC for Street, Somerset

Hi Listers, I'm seeking some assistance on the above marriage. It took place on 3 Nov 1836 at Tywardreath, I assume St. Andrew's Parish Church. The Groom was reputed to be William PRYNN bap: 18 Mar 1716 at Tywardreath, once again I assume he was baptised at St. Andrew's Parish Church. I have just found out the above William PRYNN died on 4 Jul 1719 at Tywardreath, So obviously it wasn't him. I was advised from a nice lister the other night, that up until 1929 in England & Wales a male could marry at age 14 and a female at 12 with parental consent. With that being the case they named a later child William also, he was baptised on 12 Jun 1726 at Tywardreath [St. Andrew's ?]. If he wasn't baptised until he was 4 years or older than he could be the one I'm looking for. It's been suggested; there's a William PRYNN baptised at St. Veep Cornwall in 1716, but I don't think it's him because the father is Philip PRYNN and that Christian name's not common to the families ascendancy, where as Robert is a recurring Christian name in this particular line of the PRYNN family. Happy Days, John NSW Australia Where if the Sun's not shining, then its probably raining. It there any way that William PRYNN 1726's birth date can be found and verified against the actual register.

Good point. Of course it doesnt mean the shoe was attached to a horse at the time....

In response to Judith Upton, Mary Ann's maiden name was Hockin and she was born in St. Stephen in Brannel in 1829. She married Thomas Eslick at Newlyn (East) in 1847. The certificate states that she was "of age"! Thomas died in December 1871 aged 47. Cheers for now, Horton

Hi List Just to inform my transcribers that another deposition of documents (car load) was made to the County Record Office at Truro today, they were delighted Thanks to everybody for all your help, keep it going we are winning Cheers Malc

Horton Thank you for your reply. I'm glad that Mary Ann has been found lurking under the mis-transcription of GOLLICK in 1901. best wishes with your research Judith

Hi John, Have you considered an earlier date for William's birth?  Looking on the IGI, there is a possible baptism at Luxulyan (4 miles from Tywardreath) 31 May 1701 William PRINN son of William and Jane.  There is a bit of circumstantial evidence.  I searched for births using William and Joan Prynn as parents and one of their children was named Josepha which seemed quite unusual.  I searched for Josepha Prynn and there was an earlier one - at Luxulyan, Josepha PRINNE 9th Sep 1712 parents William and Jane. Given that a William and Joan Prynn baptised 2 daughters at Tywardreath and one was named Jane (1750) and the other Josepha (1741) it does seem worth consideration.   Regards, Joy ________________________________ From: John Griffiths <johnjgriffiths@bigpond.com> To: CORNISH-GEN <CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, 21 April, 2010 10:45:19 Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] MARRIAGE OF WILLIAM PRYNN to JOAN DADDOW Hi Listers, I'm seeking some assistance on the above marriage.

No-one taking the bait? Damn. Here goes anyway. I started off thinking the medical evidence was flawed. Apart from not liking the relish Moyle seemed to take in his amateur sleuthing (which could have led to a hanging let's not forget) they only proved the blow could have been made by the hammer, not that it was, and didn't - I thought - provide convincingly that it could not have been made by a stone or stones. But having had a good think, I believe they were right, even though the evidence wasn't up to much. The problem was the narrow view taken of the case. Either Elijah is telling the truth or he murdered his step father (father in law as they said then). No-one else could have done it because he was the only one present. I think the jury thought it through more thoroughly, but it was not their place to say what really happened, and their sympathies might have kept them quiet as well. Their job was to acquit Elijah for the very good reason that he did not kill the victim. The first key to it all is Elijah's claim that he dragged Kendall to the house. The fact that no marks were visible proved him a liar. This appeared to throw the blame on him and no-one seems to have voiced the obvious question - how then did Kendall get to the parlour? No-one seems to have disputed the location of the crime or injury, and he was not capable of walking there himself. Well, obviously he was carried. He was a small man (not sure where it says this) and Elijah might have claimed to have carried him fireman's lift style, but he did not have much time to construct the story and overlooked the issue of the dust. No, Kendall was carried by two people. Elijah and his mother. The second major clue was the hammer. A single murderer would have got rid of it on the way to Chacewater. But two people - one in such a state that she might give the game away at any minute - might easily overlook it. Thirdly, Mrs Kendall's alibi depended on her not being present at the relevant time. But Maria Groce contradicted it - this is from the report in the paper, so must have been stated pretty close to the events: "On Saturday evening, Mrs. Kendall came to our house about seven o'clock, and stopped between half-an-hour and an hour. She then went home, but returned again a little before nine. I am sure it was not past nine. She was then very much frightened, and told us she believed that the mare had thrown the deceased, and she did not know whether he was not dead. She asked us to go up." If the witness who saw Kendall on the road is to be believed, he died no earlier than 8.25 pm. Elijah and his mother stated that they started for the Groce's house at about eight, with Elijah returning to deal with some sheep. Mrs Kendall later returned, was told of the accident, and left again. But according to Mrs Groce, Mrs Kendall's first visit was much earlier and she would have been at home no later than 8. She then returns before nine, in a distressed state. So what did happen and why? Mrs Kendall was much younger than her husband. Interestingly, the newspaper preamble has none of the usual stuff about him being well respected or liked in the neighbourhood. Victorian men were supposed to be the lords of their homes - the law supported them in this. Was he something of a domestic tyrant? Elijah moved away to take the burden off his mother, but close enough to keep an eye on things. He was running a school but also doing chores for Kendall - quite a lot of work. If he is the Elijah I found in the 1841 census he was the youngest of a large family and his mother had some money of her own. With all the siblings out in the world (we assume) was there any need to submit to a marriage to this old man - an old man who exploited Elijah's concern for his mother in order to get work out of him. There's no mention of any other workers at the farm. Kendall arrived home at about 8.25. There may have been a row between the two men. Did Kendall come back after a few drinks and criticise Elijah for not working harder? Did he start bullying his wife? The careful construction of the alibi suggests it was Mrs Kendall who struck the blow, perhaps to protect her son. Remember her husband was small and elderly and she was considerably younger. They carried him into the house together. Mrs Kendall then gets to the Groce's before 9 - possibly by the short cut that she apparently used on the way back. There is another inconsistency here. Elijah is supposed to have dragged the old man 80 yards after killing him, arranged him in the parlour, and kept his mother out, after which she walked back to the Groce's - and all that in no more than half an hour. Why was Elijah not more insistent on his first visit to Moyle? At this point the pair know Mrs Kendall has injured her husband. Given the state of medicine at the time, he was probably going to die. But if a surgeon saw him too soon, he might manage to say who had struck the blow. Mrs Kendall was daft enough to bring the Groce's to the house but Elijah had locked the door. He only let Henry Groce see Kendall when he was sure the old man was dead, or at least well past any communication. That then is my analysis of the case, based on the printed records.

Hello Horton She is there but incorrectly transcribed in the 1911 index as Mary Ann GOLLICK! I see also that the address index lists the property as being in Hanhays Row. I hope this helps.

Hi Stanley I have also checked all the Es(t)licks on the 1911 Census using various searches and she is certainly not there. Saying that I have found the search engine on Find My Past is not the most brilliant. I would suggest that you write to them giving your evidence that she was still alive in 1911.

Hello, If you go to Streetmap.co.uk (I use the old site), type in St Newlyn East, select Place, and enlarge the map, you'll find Nanhayes Row. The Church is in the grey area just below the letter w in Row, i.e. Churchtown Tom Thompson, St Agnes.

Churchtown was probably referring to Paul which is the parish for Newlyn. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanley Bolitho" <stanley.bolitho3@btinternet.com> To: "Cornish Email" <CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 7:43 PM Subject: [CORNISH-GEN] Mary Ann ESLICK 1911 > Hello list; I have traced most of our family in 1911 through > findmypast.com, > but cannot find my wife's gggrandmother Mary Ann ES(T)LICK..
