Happy Spring!

As summer approaches, planning is underway for the 16th Gathering of Cornish Cousins. Please note the new dates. In order for the facilities of the Mineral Point School to be available, the date change was necessary. The modern building affords a centralized, handicapped accessible venue for day time activities ranging from classrooms for small group sessions including a computer lab, to a cafetorium which can be set up for keynote addresses and allows ample space for registration, society information displays, message boards, photo contest, all accessible via spacious corridors, and extensive parking. It is customary to hold the annual meeting of the CAHS Board of Directors between Gatherings at the proposed venue of the next one. This meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 10 AM. The delegates of all affiliated Cornish associations are invited and encouraged to attend. Those planning to at- tend, please notify Dick Baker and me. The agenda and additional details will be sent to them. We realize there are many circumstances which may prevent attendance, particularly this year. The input of as many as can possibly be with us is valued. Three submissions to the Steven R. Curnow competition were received. Three judges have evaluated these independently, and now it remains to arrive at a consensus and determine what awards will be made. Watch the www.cousinjack.org website for the results! Also in this issue you‘ll find the instructions for using the Members‘ Only area of the cousinjack website. A distinct advantage of this new benefit, I believe, is that our joining members may access archived issues of Tam Kernewek and become familiar with the activities of CAHS and the affiliated societies. Those members who aren‘t inclined to save and ‗catalog‘ issues of TK will have access to previously pub- lished Members‘ Interest columns, member addresses and address changes, website queries, and more. The Blog area, Members‘ Forum and Photo album offer great opportunity to further network with fellow mem- bers.

Enthusiastic Turnout for ’s Flag Raising

The banner of Saint Piran, a white cross to represent molten tin, on a black background representing the ore from which it is ex- tracted (or say others, good over evil), flapped against a brilliant blue sky on March 5th, Saint Piran‘s Day, on the west lawn of Toronto City Hall, Canada. Members of the Toronto Cornish Association (TCA) turned out early and in goodly numbers to attend the raising of this Cornish flag, a centuries-old design, after a speech by Canadian Celtic touring musician, singer-songwriter Heather Dale. Her address was followed by a spirited group rendition of The Song of the Western Men: ―Trelawney‖. Incidentally, the flag flown is same one, owned by former councillor, Cornish born David Hutcheon, that previously flew at Toronto City Hall in 1995 in support of the Cornish dispute against Spanish fishing trawlers.

Several members started the day much earlier by listening to a 1:30 A.M. interview broadcast by the BBC of TCA co-president Ann Crichton-Harris, and another later by the CBC‘s host of Metro Morning, Matt Galloway. His pre-6:00 A.M. chat was with Heather Dale of AmphisMusic, who is also a Toronto Cornish Association member. There has been some interesting feedback following the flag raising from radio listeners.

After a teacher heard Ann‘s St. Piran‘s Day interview on the radio, the class visited the TCA website where our research page of surnames was of interest. She reports that the children marched through the village with music and flags to mark the day. We also received St. Piran‘s Day greetings from people who didn‘t realize that there were Cornish in Canada and from some who were reminded by the interview of relatives who had left and lost touch generations back (surnames Dawe, Lobb, George, Harry).

Get Ready for the Holidays!

It's not too soon to start planning for the December holidays! They'll be here before you know it. Consider pro- moting within your society the idea of giving a society membership as a holiday gift. We all know people who are thinking about getting involved with genealogy. Now is the time to consider helping those people to get started. Those people who are just thinking about genealogy or who may have attended one of your society's meetings may be ready to start the process! Talk to your society's treasurer about buying a gift membership to your society for a year. You can purchase an annual membership and enclose the new membership card in a holiday card or a gift box. It's a tremen- dously thoughtful gift, and it also helps to draw you and your friend or family closer together. From FGS (Federation of Genealogical Societies) Voice, March issue

Editor’s note: Consider giving a membership in CAHS, CFHS or your local Cornish or regional society.

‘RETURN OF THE NATIVE’ – a regular column on Cornish life

Cornish Trophy Returned to Rightful Owners

Late last year the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site and Association came together to unravel a puzzle that led to a Cornish Wrestling trophy, won in South Africa by a Cornishman, being returned to the family of the man who won it, Sam Ham.

Eagle-eyed digger operator, Paul Richards noticed some- thing shining in the ground he was digging and stopped to check what it was. A little battered and worse for wear, he discovered it to be a pewter trophy won by one Sam Ham in Jeppestown, South Africa.

He reported the find to his site agent, Wayne Wilford, who had the foresight to ask the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site if they knew anything about it. WHS Manager Deborah Boden, and her staff contacted the Cornish Wrestling Asso- ciation and publicity was soon high as the local media swooped on the story.

As a result of the publicity a number of members of Sam Ham’s family came forward advising that the trophy, awarded nearly a century ago, had been one of three that different members of the family had treasured and proudly displayed in their homes. However this one had been stolen over twenty years ago and believed lost forever.

The two associations arranged last month for the trophy to be presented by the finders to members of the family who had been brought back together after many years as a result of the find.

Cornish Wrestling champion, Gerry Cawley, was on hand and came dressed for the occasion in his wrestling attire to be a part of the presentation. Among family members was 92 year old Doris Butler, the wife of one of Sam’s four step sons, who remembered Sam and his wrestling prowess.

One of the trophies is in Australia with Sam’s step grand-daughter and now brothers Brian and Frank Butler have theirs back on display in Cornwall.

A family reunion with a happy ending and a piece of Cornish history back where it belongs.

Whither Rescorla?

Rescorla is a small village in mid Cornwall, near St Austell, in the heart of the Clay Country. Its Chapel, central to village life for generations, was closed in April 2001 and now lies unused — the focus of the village, gone. Some share the opinion that cen- tralization of resources in our towns and cities is forcing the decline of villages up and down the country and community life in general. A group of like-minded people, the Friends of Rescorla (FOR), got together in order to stem the tide. They launched a campaign to establish the village's former Methodist Chapel as a rural center for cultural and educational activities. With the support of the Cornish Audio Visual Archive (CAVA) project at the Institute of Cornish Studies, FOR envisage the use of this historic building as the principal research center for Chapel Voices, an audio-visual collection on Cornish Methodism. While the center will serve as a collection point, interview center and transcribing base for parallel multi-media projects on the Clay Country, rural folk- lore and migration, the use of the premises for related cultural and educational events is also being explored. With these objectives in mind Friends of Rescorla welcomes the involvement of other individuals and organizations so that Rescorla can be developed as

28 Bishop Trelawney by Marion Stephens of the Toronto Cornish Association A shorter version of her talk from the February 2010 meeting

Sir Jonathan was raised at Trelawne Manor Estate which is situated in the Parish of Pelynt where I lived with my family from the age of 7 - 18.Trelawne is just off the – Polperro Road on the way to Pelynt. My mother, who was a Churchwarden at the Church of St Nun, Pelynt for 25 years, continued to live at Trelay our family farm on the edge of Pelynt until she died in 2007. Trelay‘s boundaries are very close to Trelawne Manor Estate. My mum was an avid local historian and instilled in me a love for family & local history. We were particularly proud of our connection to Bishop Trelawny. It wasn‘t until I prepared for this talk today that I really understood why Bishop Trelawny was so well loved and respected by so many. Cornish Bard, Carole Vivian was my inspiration to put this together. Some of you met at the Dewellans in Looe a couple of years ago. I owe a huge debt of thanks to Carole for the pictures and her notes which I have adapted for today. It is documented that Jonathan Trelawny, great grandfather to Bishop Trelawny, purchased Trelawne Manor Estate from Queen Eliza- beth 1st In 1600. It is quite coincidental that the family name is almost the same as the estate name. Apparently the family tried for many years to change the manor name to the family name! Sadly, this Jonathan did not live long enough to really enjoy his new home. He died 4 years later leav- ing a very young family. Eventually, Bishop Trelawny‘s grandfather John, who became a Baronet, took over the estate when he became of age. This branch of the Trelawny‘s lived in very troubled times. King Charles 1 was in conflict with his parliament and eventually the Civil War erupted. Several of these Trelawnys became familiar with the Tower of London. Bishop Trelawny‘s grandfather John and father, also called Jona- than while fighting for the Monarchy found themselves imprisoned in the Tower of London on several occasions. In spite of their important titles and the large family property, they encountered considerable financial difficulty having given all the family silver and cash to the Royal cause. It was during these troubled times in 1650, just a few months after Charles 1st had lost his head Jonathan, who was to become a Bishop and well loved Cornishman throughout the world, was born. In spite of their financial struggles and no doubt, in large part, thanks to marrying into wealth, the Trelawny family managed to hold on to Trelawne Manor Estate until the early 1900‘s. From an early age Bishop Jonathan was taught the importance of being a Royalist and a Trelawny. He also learned to LOVE CORN- WALL. Jonathan spent his childhood roaming around the grounds and fields of Trelawne Manor Estate. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and shooting. He was also interested in local history in later life. He must have been quite a smart lad as his father thought it worthwhile to send him to school in London. At the age of 18 he continued his studies at Oxford. His elder brother John had his future mapped out for him. He would become manager of the family estate. His other 5 brothers chose military careers but Jonathan chose the church. He was ordained in 1676. In 1677 Charles 2nd appointed him a Royal Chaplain. This was certainly a prestigious position, but didn‘t come with the much needed salary to support the family es- tate! In 1680 Jonathan‘s elder brother John died leaving Jonathan with the daunting task of administering the will and much debt. John‘s es- tate was valued at just over 700 pounds which included a large flock of sheep, cattle, pigs and horses as well as clothing and furniture. He also had part share in a sand barge which would have been used to transport sand for fertilization up the West Looe river from where pack ponies could carry the sand up to the hilly Trelawne fields. This is where brother John lived, TRELAWNE BARTON FARM ----next door to the Manor House. This is currently the home of Carole Vivian. In spite of his esteemed position both in the Royal Court as 3rd Baronet and the Church as a Royal Chaplain Jonathan‘s financial obliga- tions far exceeded his income and the family home at Trelawne was badly in need of repair. Fortunately for Jonathan he was able to find a beauti- ful and wealthy wife! Rebecca was the 14 year old daughter of Thomas Hele of Bascome in . She was also co-heir of the family estate!! The couple married at Eggbuckland Church in Plymouth on March 31, 1684. On November 8, the following year, Jonathan was appointed Bishop of Bristol. It was four years after this on 8, 1688 that Jonathan, along with six other Bishops was arrested and put into the Tower of London for petitioning against King James 2nd‘s Declaration of Indulgence. The Declaration granted religious freedoms to Catholics. But Trelawny and oth- ers recalled the horrors of life in England under Catholic rule during Queen Mary‘s reign and didn‘t want a repetition of those harsh times. As a member of a long line of faithful Royalists, and as a Bishop, it must have been difficult for Jonathan to challenge the King. The 7 Bishops sat trial at Westminster Hall, London, accused of Treason, punishable by death if found guilty. News of Bishop Trelawny‘s arrest sent panic waves throughout Cornwall. They were all found not guilty and were released June 30th that year. There were celebrations of all kinds throughout England. In Bristol, bonfires were lit. Here in Looe the 2 town canons were fired with great solemnity. Later that evening though, the party began in typical Cornish style. Food was a plenty and the beer flowed freely!! Life appears to have settled after this significant event for the Bishop and his wife, Rebecca. They already had 2 daughters. Between 1691 – 1694, 3 sons were born at Trelawne followed by another daughter. Another son, Edward was born in 1699. Edward later became Governor of Jamaica. Poor Rebecca continued to have children until three years before her death in 1707! She was aged 40. Sadly, two of the later babies were born dead, or died shortly after birth. The last child, another son became Rector of South Hill and Lanreath, the village next to Pelynt. At age 60 Bishop Trelawny was left with a large young family to raise and an equally large home to maintain alone, as well as his duties to the Church and Royal Court. Despite the shortage of money, he and Rebecca had spent time and money trying to improve Trelawne Manor and bring back some of it‘s former glory. On July 19, 1721, Jonathan Trelawny, Bishop of Winchester died at his London home in Chelsea aged 71. It took the family two weeks to organize the removal of his body ----- but there was never any question as to where he should finally rest. On Thursday, August 3rd the coffin was brought with great funeral pomp and state through the streets of Chelsea to Salisbury, Honiton and Exeter. Till finally crossing the Tamar to come home to CORNWALL. The last stage of the journey was well attended by the Cornish folk who

Continued next page 29 Trelawny con’t dearly loved their Baronet & Bishop. The streets of Looe were lined with silent people paying their last respects as the coffin was slowly carried down the steep hill, over the bridge and up to the equally steep hill towards Trelawne. The Bishop was buried in Pelynt Church. The granite pillars within the church are thought to have been given by the Bishop in about 1680. The highlighted solid slate plaque is a memorial to the Trelawny family. I always thought the Bishop‘s remains were in the slate enclosure in front but apparently his body was laid in a vault beneath the Trelawny Isle. Here also is his Bishop‘s Crook and his coffin plate.

So what has happened to the Trelawne Family Home and Heritage?

Like so many grand properties, the upkeep made it nearly impossible to maintain. The family sold the Manor House and some of the grounds in 1920. It has since been turned into a holiday camp for camper vans, caravans and tents. The main hall, built in 1450 and updated in 1690 by the Bishop until a few years ago housed slot machines!! Today it houses billiard tables! There is still a strong interest in this ancestral home by the Trelawnys. The present Baronet, Sir John still visits and takes a keen interest in Cornish affairs. He is past president of the London Cornish Association. There is also a celebration of the Bishop‘s Release from the Tower, held each year in Pelynt Parish on June 30th. So Pelynt proudly ensures that the Trelawny name is upheld and its history lives on. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The ‘Cornishness’ of British Columbia

By Al Kline

One of the earliest of the many Cornish that left their mark in this Canadian province, was Lieutenant Daniel Pender R.N., who, following after Captain George Vancouver, did much to chart the west coast of North America. Standing out among the many features and streets named in his honour are Pender Harbour and Pender Island, part of the group of Gulf Islands which lie between Vancouver Island and the mainland and Pender Street in Vancouver. A suburban community of greater Vancouver has the name of Ladner. Two Cornish brothers, William Henry and Thomas Ellis Ladner, founded this community. They arrived in British Columbia, like so many others, in their quest for gold, but soon turned to other means to earn their living. They were involved in freighting, fish canning, dairy farming and politics. A variety of features along the south shore of the Fraser River at its delta bear the Lad- ner name, as does a creek in the province’s interior. Rising behind the site of the former townsite of Savona’s Ferry is Mount Uren, named for one of the town’s leading citizens, James Uren, a hotel owner, rancher and operator of the Savona’s Ferry which plied the Thompson River at the outflow of Kamloops Lake. Uren Lake lies to the north of Mount Uren. John Morgan Ley Retallack influenced the West Kootenay region with his involvement in mining. He held controlling interests in a couple of successful mines and for a short time in a railway. The Whitewater Mine and neighbouring town of the same name were renamed to Retallack in his honour. A nearby mountain also bears his name. Also in the West Kootenay region was the town of Camborne, now just a memory. Surveyed by miner and mine agent, John Cory Menhinick, this once bustling town contained many hotels, at least three of which were owned by Cory. A nearby creek, on which Cory had claims, was named Menhinick Creek. A subdivision of the City of Kamloops is known as Batchelor Heights. To the north-west of that area lie the Batchelor Range of hills. These features were named for Owen Salusbury Batchelor, a local rancher, who was a di- rect descendant of Bishop Trelawny.

30 British Columbia con’t

In north central B.C. there is a railway stop and remnants of the small community of Tintagel. The origin of the naming is unclear, some thinking it was named by some early Cornish settlers of the region. The name also may have been suggested to the railway by the Hon. Sir Henry Perring Pellow Crease, the first Attorney General of B.C., a Cornishman who, as well as being among the area’s first lawyers, was also an amateur artist, and whose sketches, now held by the British Columbia Archives, include some of Tin- tagel, Cornwall. The successful miner and trader, Peter Toy, of the Finlay River region, will be remembered through the naming of Peter Toy Creek, Peter Toy Bar and Peter Toy Canyon. Unfortunately he will also be remem- bered for abandoning his wife and young child. Examples of Cornish influence abound in B.C.. Cornish water wheels are still in evidence near Clin- ton, at Quesnel, and at Crazy Creek in the Eagle River valley, to list a few. Trurans Lake, north of Clinton was named for the William and Lucie Truran family. Burnaby has a Penzance Drive and a Tretheway Drive, Abbotsford has a Tretheway Street and Richmond has a Truro Drive. A portion of the center of the City of Nanaimo once was referred to as Cornish Town. In Victoria, Pendray Street was named for Cornish industrialist William Joseph Pendray and Maynard Street for innovative photographers, Richard and Han- nah Maynard. In Maple Ridge, Laity Street was named for farmer and politician, John Henry Laity. Port Coquitlam has a Cornwall Drive and Surrey has a Helston Crescent.

PASCOE of CORNWALL

With an accepted view that Pascoe as a name is from the Cornish Pask ‘of Easter’ this tartan is one of two crosses. In it you will see the smaller St Pirans cross in black and white that identifies it as a Cornish tartan and the larger cross in yellow and white to represent Easter. The yellow is also significant in the flowers that adorn the countryside in Cornwall around the Easter period. The grey is for the granite that is seen from the coast to the moors of Cornwall, as a solid dependable feature in the landscape. Yet the bands of grey are set to represent rays of light so that the cross shines out of the darkness.

Designed by Nessa Brown for her grandmother (Pascoe).

West Cornwall Homes & Households, 1550-1950

The Local History Group, a research group in existence for 20 years, meeting monthly in the Morrab Library in Penzance, announces a new book: West Cornwall Homes and Households 1550-1950 . The book is their eighth publication. Homes and Households emphasizes domestic space and the people who occupied it: who they were and how they used the space, and how these things changed over time. There is a good mix between rural people and towns- people and between the wealthy, the middling and (as far as surviving sources allow) the poor. The families of farmers, fish- ermen, mariners and artists are represented, with their houses, many of which still exist.

On the association’s Web site (www.penwithlocalhistorygroup.co.uk/) click on the Pre-Publication Special Of- fer which is headlined at the site’s Home Page, and you will be taken to a page where you can download a PDF of their order form. Details of other titles are also at the site, and those still in print can be ordered. The book will be officially launched during Penzance’s which this year runs from the 20th to the 27th of June. Susan Hoyle, chair of PLHG invites California Cornish Cousins who might be in West Cornwall then to drop by the Acorn Theatre on June 23rd to hear a talk about Penwith local history.

Editor’s note: Bendigo has been busy!

We have compiled a Compact Disk showing photographs of all the headstones in the Pendeen Cemetery. This CD was launched at the Cornish Festival at Eaglehawk (Bendigo) (March 2010).

Pendeen is part of St.Just in West Penwith and an area where so many miners emigrated from to different parts of the world including Australia, USA, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile etc.

There are also interesting stories of people who are buried in this Churchyard along with photographs.

Also on the CD are photographs of the area and four large databases: -Pendeen Burials: 1854-1900 -St. Just Burials: 1837-1928 -St. Just Wesleyan Burials: 1849-1913 -St. Just in Penwith Deaths: related to the Bolitho family

These databases were compiled and donated to us by Bob Bolitho of Canberra and the late and much re- vered Margaret Owens Vice President of the CAV.
