Australia / Re: Issacher TRUDGIAN/TRUDGEON
« on: Wednesday 23 October 13 00:20 BST (UK)  »
Issachar's Baptism has at last been found, it has eluded many researchers for some years.  The Cornwall On-line Parish Clerk has been kind enough to transcribe the Luxulyan PR containing the following;

:: Record Details ::

http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/more-info/?t=baptisms&id=2295296

DAY MONTH:          16-Mar
YEAR:             1855
PARISH OR REG DISTRICT:    Luxulyan
FORENAME:          Isaacker?
SURNAME:             TRUDGEON
SEX:                son
FATHER FORENAME:       Joseph
MOTHER FORENAME:       Betsy
RESIDENCE:          Treskilling
FATHER RANK PROFESSION: labourer
NOTES:
TRANSCRIBER NOTES:
TRANSCRIBER:          Karen Duvall
FILE ID:             mc840_bap_kd

Seems that after Issachar's birth in 1854 the family moved from Bodmin to Treskilling.  I believe that the spelling of his forename is to be corrected to "Issacher" in the transcription.
What a helpful website for Cornish researchers!

Government immigration records confirm the arrival to Australia in 1879 of a "Trudgeon" (same age as our "Issachar") whose forename is a phonetic variation of "Issachar" - i.e., "Hezekiah."  No doubt in my mind that the scribe meant well, but simply got the spelling wrong.

SURNAME           Given Name   Age   Ship           Date                   Location   Page   M/film 1
TRUDGEON        Hezekiah       23   Earl Derby   20 Jun 1879         IMM/116   279   Z1959   

The Brisbane Courier (Qld.) confirms the arrival of the "Earl Derby" on Friday 20 June 1879.

Kent / Re: Robert Matson abt.1741-1820. Born Swingfield or Wingham or Shepherdswell?

A generation or two down the track perhaps; but, the Matson family of Wingham, Kent, were farmers whose threshing machine was damaged during 1830 "Swing Riots."   An ancestor of mine was transported for"life" as a result of his involvement.  Deposition by "Roberts Matson" re' the attack on his Mother's threshing machine is on record.

I have a picture of Jeremiah Joseph Casey, in a group of soldiers, 1902.  Keen to locate current generation descendants.

Hi Carolyn,

My records have "Constance Floria NEWTON" rather than "Constance Floria NEWTOWN." Possibly just a typo' in one or the other, could you please check your records and let me/us know?

Regards,

Clarke.

Carolyn & Ellen,

F.Y.I.;
I recently discovered that Issachar appears to have been born during 1854. 

Per St. Cath's Index an "Issachar Trugen" birth was registered during the June Quarter, 1854 in the Bodmin Registration District, Cornwall.  Luxulyan is located about 12km/7.5miles south of Bodmin, so in consideration of repeat Census references to Issachar being b. in Luxulyan, it is reasonable to assume that Luxulyan was located within the Bodmin Registration District.

In due course we must check the Passenger List for the "Earl Derby" - inwards shipping to Brisbane on 20 June, 1879 after 3 months at sea, departed London 15 March, 1879 - per Brisbane Courier, 21 June, 1879. 

Regards,

Clarke.
