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.

The transcriptions of West Briton in the list archives shows marriage of Edith HALSE to George LEWIS in 1887. LEWIS - HALSE - At Redruth, February 28, Mr. George Lewis, eldest son of Mr. Thomas Lewis, Pink Moors, St. Day, to Edith, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Richard Halse, Lanner Moor, Gwennap. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/CORNISH-GEN/2003-10/1067178070 Joanne Toronto, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joy Langdon" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 5:30 AM Subject: Re: [CORNISH-GEN] Richard Pascoe and Edith Halse Hi Rowena, I think Edith may have been a widow when she married Richard. An Edith HALSE married either George LEWIS or Joseph John COCK Mar 1887 Redruth and the only Ina birth registered registered Redruth district about the right time is Ina Mary LEWIS Jun 1887 so George LEWIS seems probable.

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
