Thank you Johnothan, we are getting some good threads of Cornish history and and Cornish mining families moving To Canada and America.

To reverse the thread,they say there is a Cornish miner in every mine in the world.
My special interest is sea trading,my Scottish sea traders worked out of Poole in dorset.

The sea traders plied tin from Cornwall to wales for smelting and returned to Cornwall with coal for local mine smelting and for the estates,often landing on open beaches to discharge cargo.
