ohn Bawden and Ann Davey are my Gt-gt-grandparents (I am 90% sure of that) by way of their daughter Margaretta.Here is what I have.Is it the same family? Tracing ancestry would be appreciated.
John Bawden (Bowden), b. Bet. 1839-41, St Eller, Cornwall, England, son of Thomas Bawden and Prudence Bawden; Baptised 9th October, 1842, at Chacewater, Kenwyn Parish, Cornwall. His name and that of his children came to be rendered as 'Bowden" upon immigration from England.
m. (11 Jan., 1863, Chacewater, Kenwyn, Cornwall) Elizabeth Ann Davey, daughter of Thomas Davey, Engineman.
John's marriage in Chacewater places him in the Kenwyn Ecclesiastical Parish, near Truro and Redruth, Cornwall, where he worked as a Tin Miner. At the time of the 1871 Census John and Elizabeth Bawden's address is given as Roseworthy, Phillack, Civil Parish of Gwinear (Kenwyn Ecclesiastical Parish), Cornwall.
The family moved several times, as John worked in mines at Phillack, Crambourne, Gwinear and Redruth during the declining years of Cornish tin and copper mining.
1871 Census; Piece: RG10/2329 / Place: Phillack -Cornwall / Enumeration District: 9 / Civil Parish: Gwinear / Ecclesiastical Parish: (Not given) / Folio: 30 Page: 1 Schedule: 4 / Address: Roseworthy 1:
BAWDEN John Head M Male 30 Miner Cornwall - b. St Eller County OK
BAWDEN Elizabeth Ann Wife M Female 32 Cornwall - b. Crowan
BAWDEN Elizabeth Jane Dau - Female 8 Scholar Cornwall - b. Phillack
BAWDEN Mary Jenkin Dau - Female 6 Scholar Cornwall - b. Camborne
BAWDEN Walter Son - Male 4 Scholar Cornwall - b. Gwinear
BAWDEN John Henry Son - Male 2 Cornwall - b. Gwinear
BAWDEN Susan Anne Dau - Female 1 Cornwall - b. Gwinear
Interestingly, the neighbours of the Bawdens at Roseworthy were...
William Jones, Head, M, 71, Miner, Gwinear Cornwall,
Margaret Jones, Wife, M, 66, Gwinear Cornwall,,
Elizabeth Ann Jones, Dau, U, 28, Work At Mine, Gwinear Cornwall,
Caroline Jones, Dau, U, 25, Work At Mine, Gwinear Cornwall,
Mary Jones, Dau, U, 22, Work At Mine, Gwinear Cornwall,
John Warren, Grnson, 6, Gwinear Cornwall.
[1871 Census, RG10/2329 / Place: Phillack -Cornwall / Enumeration District: 9 / Civil Parish: Gwinear / Ecclesiastical Parish: (Not given) / Folio: 30 Page: 1 Schedule: 3 / Address: Roseworthy 1.]
While being possible, there is no proven link to this Jones family of Phillack to the family that later married Margaretta Bawden, a descendant of the Bawdens.
Margaretta Bawden was born 04 Aug., 1874, at Redruth and Ellen Bawden was born 1875, also at Redruth.
When mining developed in South Australia, John was attracted to the new prospects and emmigrated under a sponsorhip scheme that supplied skilled workers in the Copper Triangle of Sth Australia.
In 1876, John Bowden emmigrated to South Australia with his family, arriving in 29 Nov 1876, on the DUNTRUNE from England, Head - John b. c1839, Occ. Miner; wife Eliz. A. (b c1840); chn: Eliza J. (c1854-); Mary (c1860-); Walter (c1862-); John H. (c1863-); Susan A. (1867-); Mgt (c1872-); Ellen (c1875-).[Note: ages given here are approximations.]
John worked as a Miner in Moonta Mines, Sth Australia, mining copper.
Youngest son, Henry Bowden, was born in Moonta Mines, Sth Australia, 22 March, 1879.
My Gt-grandmother, Margaretta Bawden (also knowen as Bowden-Tatchell) was born Margaretta Bawden, on 06 August, 1874, at Redruth, Cornwall, Gt Britain, daughter of John and Elizabeth Ann Bawden (Bowden) of Roseworthy, Phillack, Civil Parish of Gwinear (Kenwyn Ecclesiastical Parish), Cornwall. Margaretta died 30 April, 1957, at Norwood, South Australia, at the home of her daughter Jane Elizabeth Robey; she was in her 84th year. Her marriage Certificate shows her as the daughter of William Neal Tatchell, giving her name as Margaretta Bowden-Tatchell.
Margaretta married on 27 June, 1895, at Church of the Nativity, Finniss Sth Australia, to William James Jones, b. 8 Oct., 1870, at Finniss Flat, Sth Australia, son of William Jones and Jane Allingham.
