William Jose Born 1827 Cornwall England

[Regy53]

I have ordered a copy of the marriage certificate for William Thomas Jose and Tilda Rundstrom to see if it has his father William as deceased ?
Appears to be a lot of William Jose's that were miners from Cornwall in S.A at the time.

Back again after a long layoff due to personal reasons.

Solid Rock has the correct information on William Jose.

To confirm - William was born in 1827 in Cornwall England. He married in 1853 at St Austell Cornwall to Sophia Thomas. William 26yrs and Sophia 21yrs.
They boarded a ship the "Omega" from Plymouth and arrived in Adelaide 15 Nov 1857 with son John 2yrs, and William Thomas 6 months old.
They travelled to Kapunda S.A for William to mine.
I have contacted the Light Council at Kapunda who advised me that Sophia passed away 4/2/1860 at the age of 24yrs. There are no official records but they advised me (Graham Pike) that there were the graves of John Thomas Jose 24/1/1860 A32, Sophia Jose infant 4/2/1860 A32 Sophia Jose 4/2/1860 A34.
This left William Thomas Jose who would have been just over 2 yrs of age and his father William.
What happened next Where did they go ? Did William re marry ? When and where did William die ?  There are so many William Jose's that are miners from Cornwall ! I am at a loss what happened with him and his son ?
William Thomas Jose was my Great Grandfather.
Hoping someone out there can shed some light on him.

Anybody out there researching William Jose born in 1827 in Cornwall England. He married Sophia Thomas in Cornwall. His parents were Thomas Jose and possibly Anne Snell?
William , Sophia , son John 3yrs and William Thomas Jose infant left Plymouth England and arrived in Adelaide 1857. William was a miner so they travelled out to Kapunda S.Australia a copper mining township. In 1860 Sophia, John 6yrs and new baby died. Only survivor was William Jose and the son William Thomas Jose 3 yrs old.  There was information that a William Jose married Mary Mcinerney in 12/8/1861 in Kapunda. ?
I do not know what happened to William Jose as in where and when he died?

I went to Kapunda in 2022 and found their unmarked graves and a record of who was buried in the cemetery. I have some information on William Thomas Jose his son.

Hi Cass.
Yes I had seen this on Trove also. Begs the question , Did he remarry?
I have been through Trove a number of times and there are so many William Jose's from Cornwall who have died without proper records which is a little frustrating.
