The Carne Corins

The branch of the Corin family referred to for convenience as the Carne Corins were associated particularly with the area around Vicarage Fields in Gulval Churchtown. They are probably descended from John and Blanch's fifth child, John Corin, born in 1667, with whom this account begins. Their descendants are still living at Gulval today.

JOHN CORIN jnr (1667-?1744) is a shadowy figure. He does not seem to have married within the parish of Gulval. He may have died in 1720 and have been buried in Gulval on 9 August, though this could have been the burial of his nephew (a John Corin was baptized in Phillack on 30 September 1688 and lived in Gwinear), or he may have lived until 13 February 1744, when he would have been 66. His children may have been:

1 JOHN GORAM (1695-?1727), as it is spelt in the register, baptized at Gulval on 27 October 1695. His, or perhaps his father's, wife may have been called Joan - she was buried on 2 May 1732. It is possible that he was buried on 20 July 1727 at Gulval, and that on 2 July 1730, letters of administration to his estate were granted to John, his father ("of Madron"), on the bond of his father and of James Trenhaile of Feock and Thomas Drewe of Helston.

2 RALPH CORIN (1700-1763), born at Gulval on 3 March 1700 and baptized in the parish church there on the 17th., of whom below.

RALPH CORIN (1700-1763) was born on 3 March 1700 and baptized a fortnight later. He married Jennifer Trezize at Madron on 20 April 1723. He lived in Madron after his marriage, staying there for about nine years before moving to Gulval. He remained in Gulval from about 1732 until 1746, when he moved with his family to Trenear in Madron, a large farm for which they paid £40 p.a. In 1755 he left Trenear and moved to Tolver, where he died eight years later. He was buried at Gulval on 10 March 1763.

He combined farming with carrying, and during 1739 and 1740 we find him giving his services as a carrier to Penzance Corporation, who employed him in the construction of a gun battery on the shore.

After quarter of a century of relative peace, Britain found herself in growing conflict with France and Spain in the struggle for empire. In 1739, Britain declared war on Spain, and this escalated into a wider European war (the War of Austrian Succession), which lasted from 1740 to 1748, in which Britain, Hanover and Austria were opposed to France, Spain and Prussia. Whenever Britain was at war with France, the south coast of Cornwall was virtually on the front line, and the growing town of Penzance, being so remote, was difficult to defend, and vulnerable to attack from French privateers. In June 1737, the growing fear of war led the town to ask Parliament for a number of cannon to defend themselves, and it appears that the government agreed on condition that the town built a battery for the guns. The site chosen was what is still known as Battery Rocks, where the town's war memorial now stands, and the borough accounts from October 1739 to October 1740 show how frantically the construction work was pushed forward. Entry after entry records wages paid to labourers and carriers for transporting stone and clay to the site, for example:

After the work was completed, Ralph continued to provide stone for public works until 1751, but after that he disappears from the accounts:

Ralph's sons, William and James, also became carriers, and nearly thirty years later there is an entry in the accounts:

1 MARY CORIN (1724-1766?), baptized at Madron on 1 May 1724. It is possible that she stayed at home until her father's death. If this is so, she probably married a Penzance blacksmith, James Esam at Madron on 21 January 1764. She died in or just after childbirth, and was buried at Gulval on 23 March 1766, the same day that her son was baptized.

1.1 JAMES ESAM (1766-?) survived. He married Anne Vivian on 13 September 1791 in Constantine, and the couple had descendants, including a son, James Easom, living in Helston Road, Penryn in 1841, whose son Nathaniel emigrated to Australia in 1846.

2 JAMES CORIN (1727-1810) was baptized at Madron on 20 July 1729. We meet him in the next subsection.

3 WILLIAM CORIN (1731-173?), baptized at Madron on 19 April 1731, who died in infancy.

4 WILLIAM CORIN (1733-1766), baptized at Gulval on 26 March 1733. Like his father, William worked as a carrier. He lived with his parents at Trenear until his marriage in 1754. On 23 February in that year he married a girl from Paul called Celia Thomas. A son was born, William, and the couple left the house at Trenear, and went to live in a corner of the farm, at the Mill Tenement, at a rent of £7 per annum. A second son, Ralph, was born late in 1756, and the next year the couple moved again to another house in Madron.

On Lady Day 1758, however, William took a lease on a property at The Carne, Gulval. He 'had the possession, pastured his carrying horses, and removed part of his household goods there.' James or Ralph, his brothers, subsequently paid the first quarter's rent, which was £10 p.a. - the critical figure that made him a resident of the parish and therefore eligible for poor relief.

On 22 May 1758, William left home, telling Celia to move to the Carne with the children. He said he would be back in a couple of days, so the following day, Celia and the two children moved in.

However, William had no intention of returning on the 24th. On the previous day he had been taken on board H.M.S. Vestal, a newly built 32-gun ship, fifth rate, of 659 tons, with a complement of 220 men (to which he was formally admitted on 16 June 1758). He was issued with clothing to the value of £1/6/11 and bedding valued at £1/1/-. We also know that he took up his tobacco ration! The Vestal's captain was Samuel Hood, later to achieve fame as Admiral Lord Hood. The rest of the year was occupied in cruising between Ushant and Cape Clear, and on 12 February 1759, the Vestal set off for America. However, on the 21st, a strange sail was sighted off Cape Finistere, and the Vestal gave chase. After a fight of three hours with the French frigate Bellona, in which the Bellona was dismasted and the Vestal left with only the lower masts standing, and those damaged, they were able to return with their prize to Spithead. In July 1759, the Vestal joined Rodney's squadron which bombarded Le Havre, and she continued to blockade the French coast until the following spring, when Hood managed to get the ship posted to the Mediterranean as he was suffering from a bilious complaint. She sailed in the Levant and did convoy duty in the Straits of Gibraltar.

Celia, meanwhile, had moved out of the Carne after two or three weeks, and before the Midsummer Quarter Day had moved into a little house in the Gulval part of Chyandour, for which the rent was 25/- a year. She was pregnant, and a daughter, Ann, was baptized at Gulval on 5 November 1758, but the child died, and was buried on 5 January 1759. Celia stayed in Chyandour for seven or eight months before moving in with her father-in-law early in 1759. Before very long, though, she attracted the attentions of a Thomas Colenso, and an illegitimate child, Joseph Corin, was baptized at Gulval on 7 December 1760. Celia and the baby were forced to leave home, and the older legitimate children had to be left behind with their grandfather, while Celia took work at St. Just in Penwith as a houseservant. (The son, Joseph, died in 1781 at the age of 20, and was buried at Morvah on 27 November.) (We have her version of the facts because she applied for aid from the parish in 1763.)

William's own conduct was not entirely chaste, either. The Vestal returned to Portsmouth in 1763 to be broken up, and the crew were paid off on May 4th. When William returned to his newly-widowed mother at Gulval after five years' absence, he seems to have offered his attentions to Susanna French and to Frances Barnes, whose bastard children, John and Jane, were baptized within six days of each other in May 1764. John died in June 1766 and was buried at Gulval. It seems likely that William's brother James made arrangements for Frances Barnes' support and provided her with a house at Chyandour. (A Jane Barnes was apprenticed to Jacob Corin on 26 May 1771 "to learn housewifery" - was she the daughter, or a relative?)

By this time, however, William was off again, but not before the magistrates had examined him on behalf of the Gulval vestry so see if he was entitled to go "on the parish." This time he sailed on H.M.S. Viper, a 12-gun cutter with a complement of 75 men, which he had joined on 2 August 1763. The captain of the Viper was Jacob Lobb, a Penzance man, and the mate was Richard Lobb, also of Penzance. Several of the crew were from the Penzance area, including John Jacka, sailmaker, from St. Buryan, Benedick Champion from St. Just, John Trezedra from Paul, Edmond Jeane, Barney Garter, William Borlase and Thomas Downing from Penzance (this last was drowned at sea on 27 October 1763).

The Viper crossed to the American colonies, where the situation was shortly to become very tense. In 1765, the Stamp Act was passed, and in the winter of that year a "congress" was held in New York to oppose it (it was indeed later repealed). One of the states to oppose the Act was North Carolina, and it was on the Cape Fear River in that state that the Viper was based. At the beginning of 1765 she was at Brunswick on the Cape Fear River. In November 1765 she was attacked by 150 armed men at Wilmington. Two months later, the Brunswick militia boarded the vessel, forcing Lobb to require all British officers to swear never to issue any stamp papers in the Colony of North Carolina. The Viper remained in the neighbourhood until July 1766.

On 6 July 1766, she left Fort Johnson and spent the next three days at single anchor off Oak Island, cleaning the sides in preparation for returning to England. Here, on 9 July, at 11 p.m. on the Wednesday night, William Corin died. The muster books records him as DD - discharged dead. He did not live to see his ship reach Mounts Bay again (on 30 August) - perhaps he would not have wished to? Nor was he on board when the Viper sank in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1780.

When news reached Penzance of his death, the family applied to the Prerogative Court of Canterbury for letters of administration, which were granted in October 1766. William was described this time as 'of Madron'!

Celia, freed from her obligations, married James Tonkin, a tinner, at St. Just in Penwith on 23 July 1767.

4.1 WILLIAM CORIN (1754-?), William and Celia's eldest son, was baptized at Madron on 8 December 1754.

4.2 RALPH CORIN (1756-1837) was baptized on 14 November 1756. It seems likely that it was he who married Elizabeth Jago at St Hilary in 1776, although it may have been his uncle. He was living in Penzance at this time. The couple seem to have moved about, as subsequent children were baptized at Penzance in 1779, St. Ives in 1782, and thereafter in Penzance. Ralph lived to be 81, and was buried in Penzance on 10 March 1837.

The children were:

4.2.1 WILLIAM CORIN (1776-?), baptized at St. Hilary on 18 December 1776.

4.2.2 ELIZABETH CORIN (1779-18??), baptized at Penzance on 22 May 1779. She remained a spinster, and was living in the house of her sister, Margaret Fitcher, in Penzance in 1841 and 1851.

4.2.3 ANN CORIN (1782-?), baptized at St. Ives on 1 January 1782.

4.2.4 JOHN CORIN (1784-?), baptized at Penzance on 5 May 1784, and

4.2.5 MARGARET CORIN (1787-18??), who married William Fitcher (or Fletcher), a mariner, on 17 January 1808, and lived at Chapel Street, Penzance, in the 1840's. William was a British subject born in the United States, and in 1851 was a warehouseman. They had a son:

4.2.5 WILLIAM CORIN FITCHER (1809-18??), baptized at Penzance on 19 May 1809. He married Mary Foss at Modron on 13 September 1836.

4.3 ANN CORIN (1758-1759), born after William had run away to sea, was baptized at Gulval on 5 November 1758, but lived only a few weeks. She was buried on 5 January 1759.

6 JOAN CORIN (1737-?) was baptized on 31 May 1737. She married John Colenso (or Callensoe) of Madron, a sailor, by licence, at Gulval on 5 October 1757. They had at least eight children:

6.1 STEPHEN COLENSO (1768-1770).

6.2 PHILIPPA COLENSO (1760-?). She married Henry Ellat at Madron on 12 December 1791 and had issue:

6.2.1 JAMES ELLAT (1792-?).

6.3 JOHANNA COLENSO (1761-?).

6.4 STEPHEN COLENSO (1762-?). His wife's name was Anne.

6.5 JENNIFER COLENSO (1765-?). She married Charles Richards on 10 May 1786 at Madron, and had issue:

6.5.1 CHARLES RICHARDS.

6.5.2 JANE RICHARDS, from whom Jennifer Perry, a contributor to these notes is descended.

6.5.3 JOHN RICHARDS.

6.5.4 MARY RICHARDS.

6.5.5 JAMES RICHARDS (1794-??), baptized in Penzance on19 September 1794.

6.5.6 STEPHEN COLENSOE RICHARDS (1798-18??), baptized in Penzance on 3 June 1798..

6.5.7 RALPH RICHARDS (1802-??), baptized in Penzance on 7 November 1802.

6.5.8 ROBERT RICHARDS.

6.5.9 ROBERT RICHARDS.

6.6 MARY COLENSO (1768-?).

6.7 JOHN COLENSO (1773-?). He married Jane Lorey. They had a son:

6.7.1 WILLIAM COLENSO (1798-18??). He married Jane T Nicholas on 8 July 1815 at Madron.

6.8 RALPH CORIN COLENSO (1774-?), baptized at Penzance on 29 May 1774. He married Jane Elliott on 8 July 1815 at Madron.

JAMES CORIN (1727-1810), Ralph Corin's eldest son, born in 1727, probably married Cordelia Sampson, also of Gulval, on 3 June 1754. At this time James described himself as a labourer, though as we know, he later worked as a carrier, carrying stone for Penzance Corporation. It was also probably he who was paid 4/6 by the Corporation on 8 May 1772 'for draining lake (?)'. The couple had eight children, born between 1755 and 1775. Between 1777 and 1796 (and probably for even more of his life) he occupied a house in Church Town with seven windows. (It was a sign of extravagance to have more than six, at the time of the Window Tax.) He also had three horses, perhaps connected with his work as a carrier. The horses would have been useful in the event of war, and when muster rolls were drawn up in 1803, James was noted (see Corin Newsletter 2). In 1800 he or his son was living at Lanisley in Gulval, and he was living at Chyandour in Gulval when he died, aged 82. He was buried on 20 October 1810.

Cordelia Corin, his wife, was five years younger than him, and died, also aged 82, in July 1815.

1 PHILIP CORIN (1755-1830), baptized on 19 May 1755. He married Ann Nicholls on 1 June 1782, at which time he was a husbandman. He later went to live at Ludgvan, and it is here that he was buried on 16 May 1830. Philip and Ann's children were:

1.1 ANN CORIN (1783-?), baptized on 12 January 1783. She may have married Richard Thomas.

1.2 JENNIFER CORIN (1785-1846), baptized on 6 February 1785. She married a tinner, John Edwards on 19 January 1805. The couple had twelve children between 1805 and 1827, though the mother's name is given as Jennifer, Jane, Ann and even Eizabeth. Jennifer Edwards died on 30 May 1846 at Ludgvan. John lived on at Ludgvan Churchtown, dying at the age of 80 on 23 February 1864. He was buried five days later. The children were:

1.2.1 ANN CORIN EDWARDS (1805-1805), baptized and buried at Gulval in infancy. She is recorded as the daughter of John and Ann Edwards.

1.2.2 ANN EDWARDS (1806-?), baptized at Gulval in 1806, the daughter of John and Jennifer.

1.2.3 PHILIP CORIN EDWARDS (1809-1893), baptized at Gulval in 1809, the daughter of John and Elizabeth. He married Ann Williams in 1839 in St Just in Penwith. She was known in later life as Nanny Edwards. The couple are on the 1881 census for Ludgvan with three children. Philip died on 17 May 1893 at St Just in Penwith, and was buried on the 20th. Nanny had predeceased him.

1.2.4 CHARLOTTE EDWARDS (1810-?), baptized at Gulval in 1810, the daughter of John and Jane. She married William Thomas on 31 January 1830 at St Erth, and the family sailed to Australia on 30 January 1855 on the Othona. She and William had issue including:

1.2.4.1 JANE THOMAS (1840-??), who married George Jones at Portarlington, Victoria, on 20 May 1857. From her descends Jan Westworth.

1.2.5 JOHN EDWARDS (1811-1862), baptized at Gulval in 1811, the daughter of John and Jennifer. He probably lived at Canonstown in Ludgvan, and was buried at Ludgvan on 8 July 1862.

1.2.6 MARY EDWARDS (1813-?), born on 10 April 1813 and baptized at Gulval on 2 May 1813, the daughter of John and Jennifer. She married William Pooley in 1838 at Ludgvan.

1.2.7 JAMES EDWARDS (1815-1815), born on 30 January 1815 and baptized at Gulval on 12 Feburary 1815, the son of John and Jennifer. He died in infancy.

1.2.8 JAMES EDWARDS (1816-1873), baptized at Gulval in 1816. In 1841 he was a tin and copper miner, living at home with his father, his sister Elizabeth and his nephew Philip. A James Edwards of Lower Quarter was buried at Ludgvan on 10 February 1873, aged 57.

1.2.9 WILLIAM EDWARDS (1820-?), baptized at Gulval in 1820, the son of John and Jennifer.

1.2.10 ANDREW BERRYMAN EDWARDS (1823-?), baptized at Gulval in 1823, the son of John and Jane.

1.2.11 ELIZABETH EDWARDS (1824-1899), baptized at Gulval on 26 December 1824, the daughter of John and Jane. She was living at home in 1841 and working as a milliner. She married William Davy Thomas on 8 February 1852 at Ludgvan, and they had ten children. William was a farmer and market gardener, the son of Henry Davy Thomas (~1784-1849) and Ann (Nancy) née Catran (~1784-1865). She died at Eglos Farm, Ludgvan on 31 December 1899, and was buried on 3 January 1900. A grave in Ludgvan churchyard records: In loving memory of William Davy Thomas who died at Eglos, Ludgvan April 12th 1895 aged 77 years and of Elizabeth relict of the late W. D. Thomas who died Dec 31 1899 aged 74 years and of Ann their daughter died May 1 1866 aged 11 years. Their children were:

1.2.11.1 JANE DAVY THOMAS (1852-1939)

1.2.11.2 HENRY DAVY THOMAS (1853-1922)

1.2.11.3 ANN DAVY THOMAS (1855-1866)

1.2.11.4 WILLIAM DAVY THOMAS (1856-1920)

1.2.11.5 JOHN DAVY THOMAS (1858-1932)

1.2.11.6 STEPHEN DAVY THOMAS (1861-1940)

1.2.11.7 JAMES DAVY THOMAS (1862-1933)

1.2.11.8 PHILIP DAVY THOMAS (1864-1930)

1.2.11.9 EDWARD DAVY THOMAS (1865-1936)

1.2.11.10 ELIZABETH ANN DAVY THOMAS (1871-1944)

1.2.12 WILLIAM EDWARDS (1827-?), born on 10 September 1827 and baptized at Ludgvan (Gulval?) on 21 October 1827, the son of John and Jane.

1.3 PHILIP CORIN (1786-18??), baptized on 20 March 1786. In 1810, he was given two leasehold houses in Chyandour where Frances Barnes and Francis Edwards were living. This was by his grandfather James' will, dated 1809.

1.4 MARY CORIN (1788-?), baptized on 20 April 1788.

1.5 JOHN CORIN (1793-1883), baptized on 16 June 1793. It is quite likely that this is the John Corin who married Mary Fox in Penzance on 22 May 1819. He was a farmer and market gardener.

NOTE: What follows is highly speculative, and part of it is definitely wrong. In 1881 there were several John Corins, one of whom, a 56-year-old mason, was in West Dean, Gloucestershire, with his wife Hannah (44, born in Coleford) and children John (15), Hannah (11), Jane (7), Philip (5) and Henry (4). Another, a 63-year-old John F Corin was also a mason, married and staying with his 88-year-old father in Penzance.

In 1881 our John was at 5 Stanford Terrace, Alverton, Penzance, with his daughter Mary and son John. He died in 1883. The children of the marriage were:

1.5.1 HENRY CORIN (1820-18?), baptized on 16 April 1820. He was a mason in 1841, when he was living with his parents in Rosevean Road, Penzance. In the second quarter of 1846 he married Honor Curnow, the daughter of a St Ives blacksmith, and the family spent some time in St Ives. He may be the Henry Corin who died in 1848 in Stoke Damerel.

Honor was widowed by 1851, and was staying with her son in the house of her parents, Paul and Jane Curnow, in St Ives. She remarried in the third quarter of 1852 to John Stephens, a widower and joiner.

One story recounts, however, that at some stage Henry and Honor returned to Gulval, and Henry farmed there at Higher Keneggie. The farm was mortgaged to the Bolitho Bank, and on Henry's early death the bank foreclosed, and the youngest children were put into an orphanage, perhaps in Sussex. The eldest son went to Australia, and the eldest daughter had to fend for herself.

Among the children at the orphanage was:

1.5.1.1 HENRY CORIN (1846-1923), baptized at St Ives on 14 September 1846. According to the story, from the orphanage he ran away to sea, losing contact with the rest of the family, returning to Cornwall later.

However, in the 1861 census, he is with his ageing Curnow grandparents in St Ives, as a joiner's apprentice. He certainly became a seaman, and described himself as such in the 1891 census.

He married a Helston girl, Jane Blewitt Thomas, in 1872. They settled in St Ives, and Henry died at 9 Westley Place, St Ives, in 1923. Henry and Jane had six children:

1.5.1.1.1 JOHN STEVENS CORIN (1872-19??), born in St Ives. He married Agnes Lang Harry on 2 October 1900. The following year, he was a stonemason at Dove Street, Halsetown, St Ives.

1.5.1.1.2 HENRY CORIN (1878-?). He may be the Henry Corin from St Ives, aged 20, who immigrated into the United States through Ellis Island in 1898.

1.5.1.1.3 HARRIET CORIN (1883-?).

1.5.1.1.4 WILLIAM CORIN (1886-?).

1.5.1.1.5 HONOR CURNOW CORIN (1890-?).

1.5.1.1.6 THOMAS ELLIS STEVENS CORIN (1892-1949). He married Annie Elizabeth Evans. He died on 12 July 1949, and is buried at St Buryan. His wife died on 5 June 1962, aged 70, and is buried nearby. Thomas and Annie Corin had four children:

1.5.1.1.6.1 PHYLLIS CORIN (1922-)

1.5.1.1.6.2 ARTHUR THOMAS CORIN (1925-). He married Violet Strick. He was living at 58 Penpol Terrace, Hayle, in 1982, when he provided the information about the affair at Keneggie. He and his wife have two children:

1.5.1.1.6.2.1 DAVID JOHN CORIN (b.1951).

1.5.1.1.6.2.2 MARGARET FELICITY CORIN (b.1956), now Irvine.

1.5.1.1.6.3 HENRY CORIN (1930-).

1.5.1.1.6.4 JOYCE CORIN (1934-).

1.5.2 JOHN FOX CORIN (1822-1886) was baptized at Penzance on 17 July 1822. He was apprenticed as a mason, and went to work as a railway mason in South Wales. In 1846 he married Sarah Cullis in Monmouth Independent Chapel. He spent much of his life around Monmouth, building the bridge over Newland Street, Coleford. In 1866, however, he was in Merthyr Tydfil, and perhaps he moved briefly to Swansea in 1872. In 1881, he appears in the census staying with his father in Penzance. (His age here is given as 63.) He died in 1886.

John and Sarah's children were:

1.5.2.1 JOHN CORIN (1865-?), born in 1865. He married at Monmouth in 1891, and had two children:

1.5.2.1.1 JOHN HENRY CORIN (1892-?).

1.5.2.1.2 LILIAN ANN CORIN (1893-?).

1.5.2.2 MARY JANE CORIN (1866-?), born in 1866 at Merthyr Tydfil, who married at Merthyr in 1892.

1.5.2.3 DANIEL THOMAS CORIN (1867-1867), who died in infancy at Merthyr in 1867.

1.5.2.4 MARY FOX CORIN (1868-?), born in 1868, who married at Monmouth in 1892.

1.5.2.5 HANNAH CORIN (1870-19??), born in 1870. She moved to London and helped to run a 'pie shop' in or near Fleet Street. Later, she became a nurse. She married William Barton, a goldsmith's polisher, in Greenwich in 1896. They lived in Deptford and had four children:

1.5.2.5.1 WILLIAM BARTON (1902-?), still alive in 2003.

1.5.2.5.2 STANLEY BARTON (19??-?).

1.5.2.5.3 ELLEN BARTON (19??-?).

1.5.2.5.4 KATHLEEN BARTON (19??-?), who married Albert Ernest Tallack.

1.5.2.6 RICHARD CORIN (1872-1937), born in Swansea in 1872, who died there in 1937.

1.5.2.7 ELIZABETH JANE CORIN (1873-?).

1.5.2.8 PHILIP CORIN (1876-1946), born in 1876. He married in Newport in 1901. He wife's name was Jessie. He died at Newport in 1946.

Also related, it seems, were:

1.5.2.9 HENRY RICHARD CORIN (1881-1957), born in Monmouth in 1881, marrying in 1904, and dying in 1957. His children were:

1.5.2.9.1 Possibly PHILIP HENRY CORIN (1905-1907), who was born and died at Pontypridd.

2 MARY CORIN (1757-18??), James and Cordelia's second child, was baptized on 9 October 1757. She probably married William Nicholas at Gulval on 16 November 1789 and went to Ludgvan with him. She was left £20 in her father's will dated 1809.

3 JAMES CORIN (1761-?) was baptized on 11 May 1761. He may have died before 1809, as he is not mentioned in his father's will.

She and her younger sister, Elizabeth, married two brothers from Redruth, Richard and Nicholas Boyens (or Boyance) in a double marriage ceremony at Gulval on 10 November 1794. Richard was the local tax assessor. Between 1799 and 1809, the family moved to Modbury in Devon, where Richard was a victualler. However, early in 1809, Richard died. It appears that Cordelia returned to Penzance, though the family clearly retained connections with Modbury.

RALPH CORIN (1763-1846), mentioned above, married Honour Carne on 13 June 1791 at Madron. His sister Cordelia and her fiancé Richard Boyens were witnesses. (Ralph and Honour both made their mark.) It is from this couple that the Carne Corins are descended.

Ralph and his family lived around Vicarage Fields, to the west of Gulval church. He was a carrier like his father and grandfather, and owned four farm horses in 1797, but in January 1802 we find the parish paying out two weeks' poor relief (@ 1/6 per week) to either this Ralph, or to his uncle.

In 1829, there was a dispute between Harvey and Co. of Hayle and the Cornish Copper Company over the ownership of the quay and land at Hayle. This was the culmination of years of acrimonious competition between the two companies, with channel diversions, poaching of workers and sharp practices, leading to riots in 1818. A number of old men were brought in to testify to the state of the river in the 1790's. Ralph Corin, who gave his age as 68, gave evidence that he had for many years been bringing copper ore from Wheal Cock Mine at St Just to the Hayle wharves. He also brought tin from An-Garrack Mill to Penzance for Joseph Carne, FRS, one of the owners of the Cornish Copper Company (a relation of Honour's?), for his father, and for William Bolitho.

Ralph held Gulval Vicarage Fields in 1799, and was living at Gulval Churchtown in 1841. He died on October 14 (?7), 1846 (letters of administration were granted in 1847), and his widow died less than a year later, on 22 September 1847.

WILLIAM CARNE CORIN (1794-1875), Ralph and Honour's son, was born in 1794, and baptized on 16 November. He farmed Vicarage fields, which extended to twelve acres, at least between 1843 and 1851, and he also inherited his father's property in 1846.

His first wife was called Ann. She was born in Gulval, and was a year older than William. However, she died in 1853, and William married again, to Peggy Tucker on Christmas Day 1860. He was 66 and she was 49. In 1861 and 1862 he kept a grocery at 98 Market Jew Street in Penzance.

In 1869 the family were at Trevarrack in Gulval. Peggy died in this year and was buried at Gulval on 14 May. In 1871 we find William living at 2 Tines Court in Penzance. However, he outlived his wife by only six (?four) years, dying in 1875 at the age of 81.

1 WILLIAM CARNE CORIN (1818-1904), who was born at Ludgvan in 1818. He married Jane Richards of St Just on 8 June 1840 at Gulval.

1.3 GRACE CORIN (1844-?), born in 1844, who married Alfred Tregonning or Tregonna in 1866.

1.4 ANN CORIN (1846-?).

1.5 EMILY CORIN (1847-1917). Her first son was James Thomas Corin. His marriage certificate identifies his parents as "James Thomas and Emily Corin (maiden name Corin). The father's rank or profession is listed as "gardener". In the 1871 census, he is listed as the stepson of Charles Nicholls (sic).

Emily married Charles Gundry Nicholas at Madron on 30 November 1869. He had been born at Gulval on 31 March 1847. The 1871 census describes him as a driver. Charles and Emily spent a few years in New Zealand before settling in Victoria, Australia, farming at Mirboo, North Victoria. Emily died on 22 May 1917.

Emily had one child by James Thomas:

He was a wheelwright like his father, and in 1882 was a coach builder in St Mary's Terrace in Penzance, when he was reported to turn out twenty spring carts and twelve market garden wagons in the course of the year.

1.12 BENJAMIN CORIN (1861-?). He was living at home in Gulval Churchtown between 1861 and 1881. It was probably he who, with Ralph Corin, was joint occupier of a house and land at Gulval Churchtown in 1914.

He married Amelia Thomas Curnow (known as Ann) on 30 May 1868, and they had seven children. Benjamin was living in his father's house in Gulval between 1851 and 1881 at least. In 1871, he was farming it and employing five labourers. He is probably the Benjamin Corin of Gulval Churchtown whose mare died while pulling up Church Lane in September 1889: the story is recounted in the Cornishman (see Corin Newsletter 5). He died on 16 December 1911, and Amelia died on 8 July 1922. They had seven children:
