Hi Michael and Samuel Bazeley (both born in St Breock) were working as miners in the Redruth area and married local girls. Michael married Alice Besanka(sic) in 1863 at the Chapel of St John Camborne and Samuel married a Mary Jane Michell the following year at the Wesleyan Chapel Copperhouse Redruth. In the 1871 census returns Alice is shown living with her children at Crowan and in 1881 at Camborne. (Michael was staying in St Breock with his mother) In 1883 Alice emigrated to Wisconsin to join Michael. At some time after his marriage Samuel moved to Hindley near Wigan (presumably his wife Mary Jane had died) and in 1881 he was living at Hindley with another wife Louise and with children from Redruth and Wigan. I have not been able to trace the death of Mary Jane in Cornwall. Is anyone tracing the Michell family who knows what happened to her? Ray Bazley
