Cornwall Lookup Requests / Re: Edward LUGG Born 1798 Ruan

Dear Kris and cbcarolyn
I seem to be having some trouble replying so I will try again. Firstly I was in error. In my enthusiasm at seeing an interest in this section of the Lugg family I omitted to check the family data and relied on memory. My ggg grandfather on Mt Duneed is in fact William Lugg snr, born 1799, died 1898. See I got the 8 in the wrong century! His son William jnr brought the extended family to Australia aboard the "Sir Edward Parry" as Kris points out. There are Edward Luggs up and down and sideways in the family tree. At least those are my excuses. Willliam snr is the son of Simon Lugg/Elisabeth Pascoe as Kris points out and he had the 26 acres at Ruan Major. Before that Alexander, 1692; George, 1650; George, 1620 and Thomas 1580.
William jnr tried his luck very early at Ballarat (1852+) and ended his days in steady employment (as many of them did) in the position of high trust as the battery manager of the North Queen Mine on Black Hill at East Ballarat (all the gold passed through his hands). However he paid a price and died of stomach cancer induced by the gold extracting cyanide of the battery. His brothers, father and cousins were successful shopkeepers, farmers and graziers in the Geelong/Western districts of Victoria and the family are now thoroughly respectable citizens. Johann Dorothea Paulke who married Edward in 1867 is one of ours too.
