The photo below was found in Newlyn (West), Cornwall and belonged to a descendant of the KELYNACK and BEADON Families. It's possible this photo is of Elizabeth Lawrence Boase KELYNACK (wife of James KELYNACK) or Grace Payne James BEADON. First husband of Grace was Nicholas KELYNACK and second husband was William BEADON. Photo could be from late 1850s or early 1860s, although the dress appears to be from an earlier period.Can you identify her?

ALFRED JOHN LOBB

Miners at the Richard Mine in Morris County, New Jersey (USA). The man in the center with a white shirt and straw hat is Alfred John LOBB who became Asst. Superintendant in 1910 and became Superintendant 25 Jun 1914 during a strike. He was replaced in Feb of some year according to a newspaper article (for which I have no date). He was my great grandfather and went from the clay pits of Bugle-St. Austell to NJ in 1884, followed in 1885 by my great grandmother Emma (HOOPER) LOBB and their oldest child (of 14) Maggie, my grandmother and the only child born in Cornwall. The rest were all born in New Jersey where the LOBBS remained.

There were thousands of other Cornish in Morris County, New Jersey, and probably several in this photo. I'm hoping that it's a photo in the albums of many families who lived in the area who may have stayed or moved on to mines in other parts of the country.

THE HARRIS FAMILY

"Photographer W. E. Hawken was in Lostwithiel. The "granny' in the picture is probably Dorothy Bawden Harris, chr at Helland 3 Jun, 1787. She was at Penquite, Lanlivery, in 1841; St. Columb Minor in 1851; and Tangier(Lostwithiel) in 1861.She hasn't been found in the 1871 census, so I assume this picture was taken between 1861 and 1871. The girls, or boys in dresses, might have been the children of the lady in both pictures. This could have been Elizabeth of Lostwithiel, who married Joseph Harris of Lanlivery per the 1851 Liskeard census. It would appear that the woman in the other picture was the same person. The back of this picture says: >From the Studio of T. Price, 2 Peter Street, Jersey, all negatives kept, No 20 " 42?."Larry Smith

Richard OLIVER came to Canada with his wife Ann and his sons. Richard was my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather. His son Robert, my Great-Great-Grandfather, was born in Gorram in Cornwall on August 29, 1829. If anyone has information on Richard's wife I would appreciate the knowledge. All I know is that she was born in 1800 in England and died in Nov 5, 1867 in Reach Township, Ontario County, Canada.
