Dear Cornish Listers This couple were married in my great-great-great uncle's house in colonial Victoria, Australia. The bride was said to be the first British child to be born in New Zealand, admittedly off shore, on board ship, but close enough to the shore to be counted. My great-great-great uncle was Henry Tregaskis. The family had been living in Gwennap in the early 19th century, at Carn Marth and Carharrack. Prior to moving to Swansea and later sailing to Melbourne, Australia. My great-great-grandfather, Richard Tregaskis, arrived in Melbourne in 1855 and stayed in Australia but Henry returned to South Wales and had the Crown Biscuit Works in Cardiff. Henry and Richard were both engineers, Richard being involved in making steam engines and other engineering activities associated with the deep mining which followed the alluvial mining and shallow mines of the very early gold rush period in Australia. An earlier ancestor in the same line, with his son, was said to have erected the first Boul! ton and Watt steam engine in a Cornish mine, according to family records.
