FATAL ACCIDENT AT PENZANCE- A melancholy accident at St. Just, Penzance on Sunday last. A party, who had been out shooting, and had returned, when, one of them, named Thomas Wembath*, was trying to draw the charge from his gun, by some means the gun went off, and the whole charge entered his mouth, and blew his head to atoms. He was soon placed on a plank and carried to his home, about a mile distant, where he had in the morning left a wife and three children.
* Note from me.... I believe this to be Thomas TREMBATH
Possible burial record from Cornwall OPC Site-
Burials St Just in Penwith 30 September 1851 Thomas TREMBATH, aged 27 years of Trewellard
Best regards HeatherC
