Finally the boot is on the other foot!!! 
There have been numerous mentions and several discussions on this forum about those men who ventured away to America and other places leaving wives and children at home. Many of these men subsequently married and had further children in their new home while the first family was still sitting at home back in Cornwall.
Well ................ for all you ladies out there thinking what dastardly beasts these men must have been I've got one for you! ;D
In 1840 Hannah Tregloan (1821 d/o James and Hannah) married William Richards at St Ives. William was a mariner and there were only three children before he died or disappeared. Those children were William Tregloan Richards (1841), Hannah Ford Richards (1843) and Peter Bryant Richards (1848).
In 1849 widowed Hannah then married John Berryman at St Ives and with him had another two children - John (c.1851) and Robert Henry (1853).
In 1861 John Berryman is at Zennor along with his two sons. John is recorded as being married but there is no trace of his wife.
In 1871 John is recorded as being a widower.
In July of 1854 the 'Miles Barton' arrived in Melbourne. Amongst the passengers were 'Mrs Berryman' age 33, Hannah Richards age 10 and Peter Richards age 6. (Hannah Ford Richards and Peter Bryant Richards both married in Victoria)
This has all come about through some research into the Sisley family of St Ives and I had for years in my database a record of a John Sisely with wife Hannah Treglown. I had not been able to find this marriage but Hannah died in 1862 with parents named as James Treglown and Hannah Ford.
I now know that Hannah Berryman reverted to her previous married name and married John Sisely at Ballarat in 1855 under the name Ann Richards! She had a further two children with John before she died.
So Hannah has packed up and left John Berryman with a couple of billy-lids while she hightailed it off to Australia and started yet another family!
Makes a change from it always being the blokes who meandered off into the setting sun don't it!
BTW - John Berryman died at Zennor in 1888
