Dear List, I am wanting to follow up on a family oral history that tells of the death of Edward PASCOE in South Africa in 1892. Would anyone currently have access to Ancestry South Africa who would be able to check this for me? Edward PASCOE was born in 1858 in Ludgvan to Edward PASCOE and Emily HARVEY. He was a tin miner and mine agent. The family oral history tells that he specialised in ore dressing, and became one of the pioneers in Johannesburg, Transvaal. Hoping that someone may be able to help. Kind regards, Rowena
Rowena, In his book "Cornish Immigrants to South Africa," Graham B. 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.
