  • RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack
    RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1272:gregr@ darkwing.uoregon.edu;http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~dogsci Abstract Retallack is a name endemic to Cornwall, and traceable in that southwestern English county back to 1497. The name is probably derived from Talek, recorded back to 1349, by addition of a demonstrative pronoun (those Taleks!). Talek in turn is most likely from the old Cornish talawg meaning high forehead. The comparable Welsh name Tallwch and Pictish Talorc can be traced back to the 6th century. There are numerous other ideas concerning the origin of the Retallack surname from Cornish place names, Cornish saints, mine workings and Norse and Greek gods, and these are all reviewed here. Retallacks in Cornwall were largely miners and farmers. Many left Cornwall for the United States and Australia in the 1850's. I emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1977, but my great great grandfather emigrated in 1852 to Australia, where I was born and raised. Introduction The Retallack name is unusual and often requires careful spelling out. Pronunciation is also a challenge (correct is r'-TAL-lack, rhymes with metallic). With the advent of the internet and computer-generated genealogical research I have been getting frequent requests for information on the surname and its ancestry. Here is as much as I can reconstruct. Retallack is endemic to Cornwall, England, where it has been a rare name back to the 15th century (Table 1). Since the 19th century it has been part of a global emigration (Table 2) so that there are now more Retallacks in Australia and the U.S.

  • Manor of West Draynes
    The impact of economic and demographic change on the Cornish moorland community of West Draynes between 1793 and 1851 Dissertation submitted for the degree of Master of Science in Local History Gary Crossley, Kellogg College, University of Oxford September 2011 i The impact of economic and demographic change on the Cornish moorland community of West Draynes between 1793 and 1851 Dissertation submitted for the degree of Master of Science in Local History Gary Crossley, Kellogg College, University of Oxford September 2011 ABSTRACT The remote Manor of West Draynes on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall experienced fundamental change between 1793 and 1851 and provides a good case study of how Cornish rural society responded to the challenges it faced during this period. The population of the manor more than doubled and the structure of society changed from one dominated by small farmers and cottagers to one where landless labourers were in the majority. In a move that was mirrored across Cornwall, the absentee landowner fundamentally changed tenancy arrangements, removing virtually all of the traditional three‐life leases that had provided substantial security of tenure to generations of tenants. These were replaced by 14‐year rack‐rental arrangements which, combined with poor farming economics after 1814, led to a greater turnover of tenants. Mining speculation and moorland enclosure added to the instability. Migration ‐ both inwards and outwards ‐ increasingly affected the manor and by 1851 there were miners from west Cornwall living in West Draynes while former inhabitants of the district could be found in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. Instability reached a peak in the ‘hungry forties’ when poverty and crop failure led to famine conditions.

Go through 2 wooden gates and down to cross a clapper bridge. Almost immediately, you pass a National Trust sign to the 43 rd Wessex Division memorial plaque. Ignore it and head roughly SE for the rocky outcrop on Showery Tor, at the northern end of the Roughtor ridge. You will encounter many relics of prehistory – enclosures, cairns, hut circles and boundary banks - on the way up, as you will during the whole walk. As you climb, off to your left is the strange 550 yard long stone bank investigated by Time Team in 2007. The climb becomes fairly steep for the last part up to the rocky outcrop, looking much like the Cheesewring and surrounded by a massive cairn, at 14931/81320 at 1285 feet.
