Just your ordinary everyday run of the mill family really. I must have scared people off as I haven't had any bites from the copy I posted further up the list.

Hi Carole
You may remember that it was said that the John GLASSON of Bookanon in Australia, son of John GLASSON and Mary GLASSON, and grandson of John GLASSON and Blanch KEMP, was related to the Glasson at Greenbank in Falmouth family with whom you are interested.
Well John of Bookanon had a sister Mary who also emigrated to Australia and married and lived close to her brother John. Anyway, she wrote this letter, undated but post marked December 1845, home to her parents - my words in brackets:
I thought you may be interested especially in the reference to the POOL ladies.

What a fascinating letter. Makes you think when in this day and age communication is literally at the speed of light. Thanks Lannanta for sharing this.

Hello again Carole
I was sorting old notes last night and I found an entry that reminded me of some discussions a wee while back.
Kind regards

Lannanta What a fantastically interesting letter, Allen. Thank you SO much for posting it. It's so nice to have solid evidence of the various relatives and where they were in 1845. I don't know of the cousin Elenor Rosewarne or Aunt Burrell though, so will have great fun finding where they fit in. Can I confirm with you that the letter was written by Mary Glasson 1814-1872 who emigrated to Australia with her brother Richard and his family in 1838? If so I believe Mary married John Lane in 1846. What I don't know is if they had any children. Do you know if the return letters sent from England to Mary and her siblings in Australia/New Zealand surivived also? Thanks once again - this is just brilliantly exciting stuff! Best wishes, Carole

Hello again Carole I was sorting old notes last night and I found an entry that reminded me of some discussions a wee while back. Kind regards Lannanta BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the death of Richard Mogg Glasson that I have been long looking for details of. I had seen this date given for the death but had no confirmation of this until now...thank you! However it was exciting news to me that his cousin Henry Mogg was drowned at the same time (well exciting is perhaps a bit cruel to say when we are talking of drowing!). I do know that William Glasson and Elizabeth Mogg lived at Dunstanville Terrace, Falmouth at this time, and although orginally from Somerset, Elizabeth's brother James Mogg and his family also lived in Falmouth, later Dunstanville Terrace too. Henry may well have been the eldest son of James and his wife Elizabeth Osborne, but as I obtained my info on this side from the census I did not know of him. They did later have 'another' son called Henry. The other possibility is that Henry was the son of Elizabeth Mogg's eldest brother Joseph, although I have not found a marriage for him. Umn...it's all interesting. I wonder if there would have been a report in one of the local newspapers on the tragedy? I'll look into it. Can't thank you enough, Allen, I've been looking for confirmation of this for quite a while. Best wishes, Carole

Carole
When I was researching this branch of the Glassons (before I found that they didn't fit into the Hampton's after all) I did look into all the Glasson family members who ended up in Australia.
Mary R. Glasson (1814-1872) did indeed marry John T. Lane c.1814-1881) in Bathurst, NSW, Australia in 1846.
I have identified 8 children for them: William L. Lane born 1845 Bathurst, NSW; died 1859 Orange, NSW. John Draper Lane born 1846 Bathurst, NSW; died 1879 Orange, NSW. Catherine J. Lane born 1849 Bathurst, NSW Fanny E. Lane born 1850 Bathurst, NSW Arthur E. Lane born 1852 Bathurst, NSW; died 1873 Orange, NSW. Theodore H. Lane born 1854 Bathurst, NSW (unnamed Male) Lane born 1856 Orange, NSW Adeline R. Lane born 1859 Orange, NSW; died 1860 Orange, NSW.
Theodore Lane married 1881 at Armidale, NSW to Ella Marion Currey. They had three children: Aubrey Lane born 1882 Lismore, NSW Franklin H. Lane born 1883 Maitland West, NSW Kathleen E. Lane born 1885 Armidale, NSW
John D. Lane married 1 Feb 1872 at Camperdown NSW to his first cousin Mary Ann Margaret Glasson (1850-1930). Mary A.M. Glasson was the daughter of William Glasson (brother of Mary above) and Susan Russell who arrived in Australia in 1852 with their family.
John and Mary Lane had 12 children and have numerous descendants (grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren). However my information on these descendants is somewhat sketchy, since when I discovered the family wasn't relevant to my research I stopped looking into it.

Hi Carole
Yes it was written by the Mary you mention and I do agree that she married Mr Lane although I did not have the children etc that were listed by Gandolf.
I am sure that the return letters are somewhere but I am not sure where. I got my copies from the Bradford Library in the UK some time ago.
I have some notes about the Richard you mention

I have some notes about the Richard you mention Lannanta Thanks once again - these 'real' little snippets are what it is all about. Finding out these details makes the people become alive. So thrilled with such detail. Have you got, or can you point me in the right direction, of obtaining any photographs of the Glasson clan who emigrated? I know they are out there somewhere as I have heard mention of them. I have seen ones of John of Bookanon and his brother William and wife Susan, and would so love to know what the rest of the family look like. Grateful if you can help.. But huge thanks for information you have shared so far!!!! Best wishes, Carole

Hi Carole
Unfortunately not. I do know that John of Bookanon asked for photographs of his parents and his grandmother (Blanch KEMP - the knitting lady as he called her) and did in fact receive them. I would guess that the descendants living in Australia would have them somewhere. As for photographs of John etc I am afraid I have no idea.

No problem Carole. Only took a few minute to type out the information.
I have also posted a note in the general section about Aussie BDM records available online for those chasing families who emigrated to Australia. Several of the key states for Cornish have their historical indexes online (typically births to around 1905, marriages and deaths to later). So this may help sort out missing people.

Hello - my relative Avis King (1831 - 1914) with her husband Henry King ran the pub in the 1870's - they are on the 1871 census as being the licensees. Henry had made his fortune in the gold mines of California. They then went on to the Star Inn in St Erth. ;D

Henry had made his fortune in the gold mines of California. They then went on to the Star Inn in St Erth. ;D Hello - that's really interesting, thanks for that information. Do you happen to know when your Henry and Avis took over the lease and indeed how long they were at The St Aubyn's Arms? It's also interesting you mention the Star Inn at St Erth because, I believe, several decades earlier the Star Inn was also a Glasson run inn. Best wishes, Carole

Hello Glasson researchers and in particular Carole
You may have been watching the thread on Robert and Ann Glasson of Crowan:
and noted that in the census we had a family predominantly calling themselves Glassons, when in fact that were Spurs.
The marriage parish entry kindly supplied by CT shows that Robert was actually Robert Glasson Spur and that his father was Robert Glasson, an innkeeper. Robert Glasson Spur was illegitimate.
My records only show one innkeeper in that era and that is Robert Glasson, baptised in 1789 at Crowan, and the son of William Glasson and Mary Williams and the Robert mentioned in this thread (1789) - became the husband of Margaret Rolls - and when their first two children were baptised in Falmouth Robert was said to be an innkeeper.
So to start the debate I am suggesting that Robert, 1789, is the father of Robert Glasson Spur.
As a matter of interest I have in my possession copies of the letters that were used to produce the document "The Glasson Saga" which essentially is the correspondence between a relation of the above Robert and that relation's son John in Australia. Some time ago I have made a reference to this Robert in my database and the note I wrote said that it had been suggested in the letters that he was an alcoholic.
I would be interested in any discussion.
Lannanta
