Hi Bill, That is very helpful indeed. The family history which was written down and given to me, does not have a marriage for him, so that is something else to investigate. It may mean that there were 2 Edward Pascoe's in South Africa, or that the marriage was in Sth Africa. Ok, I'm hoping now that John Carbis may have something further to add to clarify the different Edward Pascoe dates. Beyond that, my next step will be to find a South African Rootsweb List that I can post a query to. Thank you Bill. I'll keep in touch and let you know whatever I can pin down. Edward Pascoe had a brother Richard Pascoe who died in an avalanche which swept into a mining town in Idaho in 1910. I'll post separately as I'm searching for his wife.

Dickason has two references to Edward PASCOE, one or both of which may pertain to your Edward. Part V of the book is a "List of Early Cornish Immigrants to South Africa," and page 102 of that section includes the following: "PASCOE, Edward, 1855-27.12.1892 Barberton, h of Mary Louisa. PASCOE, Edward, Liskeard 1858-16.5.1892 Johannesburg (Br)." In the first reference, the birth year (1855) is off, but the marriage to Mary Louisa may be a clue helpful to you. In the second reference, the birth year (1858) is correct; the birth location (Liskeard) is wrong but might conceivably have been confused with Ludgvan. The abbreviation Br means that he was buried at Braamfontein, Johannesburg. Both references say the man died in 1892, but with two different 1892 dates we may indeed be dealing with two different men named Edward PASCOE. Our friend "in scarlet," John Carbis, focuses on the Cornish in South Africa, and may have further info for you. Please let me know if any of this makes sense to you, since I'd like to be sure that my records for this Ludgvan man are as complete as possible.
