FATAL BLASTING ACCIDENT.
A fatal blasting accident occurred at the South Blocks mine to-night resulting in the death of one man and the injury of another. A couple of hours after the afternoon shift went in Thomas Ninnes, aged 25, and William Richards, aged 24, were boring out an old hole 60 ft., below the 100-ft level in No. 3 shaft when an explosion occurred. Ninnes was killed outright, and Richards terribly cut about the hands and chest. A third man, E. Watts, belonging to the party, happened to be away on the level at the time working the windless, and both escaped. Both Ninnes and Richards were single. Richards was in great pain, and was removed to the hospital.

So now we get back to George NINNES who would have been born somewhere around the 1800’s. There are two possibilities – both born at Towednack - George, born to George NINNIS & Mary on 10 April 1808 OR George born to William NINNIS & Christian on 8 Jan 1809.

Corrections to the above or additional info (ship & date of arrival in AUS) welcomed, with thanks.

Hi Glenys - if I follow this correctly then you are looking for the parents of the George Ninnes who married Alice Curnow who in turn were parents of George of 1833.

My database shows that 'your' George was baptised at Towednack 10th April 1808 son of George Ninnis and Mary Pearce who married at Towednack 12th September 1805.
This George was the son of Thomas Ninnes and Mary White.

I don't know when the arrived in Australia but I would presume it was into South Australia where George died in 1870.
Alice died in South Australia in 1864 so as the family appeared in the 1861 Census they must have arrived sometime between 1861 and 1864.

CT - Have attached the passenger list for Tarquin - you may find it a handy reference to the many Cornish aboard.
The immigrant ship Tarquin (from Plymouth on Aug. 20) arrived on Saturday, December 3, 1864, and was towed into harbor on the following Monday. During that day most of the single women and a large number of the other immigrants left the ship. The Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1889-1931) 22 Mar 1901: page 7.

My database looks better this morning

Hi Glenys - most interesting but! ........... The following link takes you to the passenger list and voyage details as produced in 'TheShipsList' -

www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/tarquin1864.shtml

After the paragraph 'Arrival of the Tarquin with Government Immigrants' you will find the 'official list of the immigrants' in which the Ninnes family includes two named John. However after that is a more comprehensive list showing ages and other details.

In this list the Passengers are separated into families and then Single Men and Single Woman. Note that in this list there is just one John Ninnes.
