Yes I have used the Cornwall OPC Database but haven't seen Jemima's father's entry before. I did contact the Liskeard Old Cornwall Society, (historical societies of the area you're researching are very helpful), & they gave me details of Richard Hugo's death, it is also on his headstone - "Sacred. To the Memory of Richard Hugo of this Borough. Who was accidentally killed by the falling of a wall when passing the Post Office corner. On the 8th day of June 1864. Aged 39 years. Watch therefore ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.". From Liskeard Old Cornwall Society - 'The newspaper report says Richard Hugo was a servant of solicitor John Sargent of The Parade at the time of the accident. Two children and another man were killed also. The Post Office was on the corner of Dean St and Barras St.'

Jemima & James married in 1877. They immigrated to Australia in 1888. They had 9 children, 3 sons & 6 daughters. The sons died young - 12, 30 & 40 years of age. Some of the daughters lost their husbands & remarried. So lots of relatives. I've traced Jemima back to Liskeard, Cornwall. Would love to hear from anyone related or any info at all. Thank-you.

Hi, just found this post by Googling 'John McKenna Elizabeth Eaton'. They are my husband's 2x Great Grandparents. We have only just received their son's Joseph's Birth Certificate which stated they were married in Van Diemen's Land in 1847. Convicts? Any & all information would be appreciated.
