HI Diane I'm one of the many descendants of the Mann families of Newlyn, Mousehole and St Buryan according to my research. My family are included in the flaxman website and I'm very interested in your project. Briefly, my great grandfather, Edward Tegertha Mann was born 28 February 1844 at Newlyn to parents William Mann and Jane Maddran/Maddern. Their address was Boase Street, Newlyn according to the Census records. Edward was a blacksmith and emigrated to South Australia on The Peeress arriving 9th July 1865. He died in Melbourne, Australia on 16 November 1914 and is buried there. His siblings were Dorothy Tregurtha Mann b 1835, Richard b 1837, William Edwin b 1842, John Maddern b 1849. Dorothy married John Victor Mathews in 1862. Edward's father, William, b 28 October 1804 at Newlyn was reputed to have lost his life at sea on the Irish coast on 4 May 1877 whilst navigating a vessel from Newlyn to Ireland. No other details are known including the name of the vessel. All efforts to find any information about the incident over many years have been fruitless, including professional research. There is no death or burial record for him but he is commemorated on the family gravestone in the Paul Cemetery. Are you able to refer me to any source which may elaborate on this incident? I would be most grateful. A search of old newspapers of the time did not mention the presumed shipwreck either. I have full details of the descendants of Edward Mann and his wife Annie Green if you would like them. I find the Newlyn Archive website very interesting and hope to visit Newlyn one day to see where some of my ancestors originated.
