Philip Corin (1780-1856)

PHILIP CORIN (1780-1856), seventh child of Jacob and Elizabeth, née Symonds, was baptized at Penzance on 16 May 1780. His first wife's name was Ann. (A Philip Corin ("sojourner") married an Ann Perryman at Sidmouth, Devon, on 11 January 1803.) It is quite possible that Philip was associated with the running of the farm at Tolver, and that it is he who is recorded in the 1803 muster roll at Lower Tolver. However, between 1814 and 1841, this (or another?) Philip was described as a carpenter or joiner. (However, his son Jacob, marrying in 1841, described Philip as a smith.)

In 1822 he leased a plot of land in Clarence Street, Penzance, for 99 years, covenanting to build a house of equal height and not less size than those nearby - the rent from 1835 was 17/11 p.a.

Ann, his wife, died, aged 59, on 5 June 1838 at Adelaide St., Penzance, of a liver disease. (It cannot have been his wife who was the Ann Corin of Tolver buried at Gulval on 7 September 1836, aged 58.) The informant was William Corin, described as an 'inmate'. The widowed Philip then remarried, to Mary Beedal, on 26 January 1839 at Madron. She was 54, and had been born in St Hilary.

His wife died in the 1840's and Philip married yet again, on 16 March 1848 at Wesley Rock Chapel, Penzance 'according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Bible Christian Connexion'. At this time, his address was Penwith St., Penzance, and this was still his address at the time of the 1851 census. His third wife's name was Sarah Hugh (née Young), and she was a widowed schoolmistress 21 years younger than he was. Philip died, aged 76, on 6 February 1856, in Camberwell St., Penzance.

1 ELIZABETH CORIN (1804?-?) was born at St Pancras in 1804 or 1805. She married Thomas Parsons at Madron on 13 February 1828. He was a miner, and was living in Ludgvan in 1841. In 1851 and 1861, the family were at Truthall in Ludgvan. Their children included:

1.1 ELIZABETH PARSONS (1830-?), born in 1830 or 1831.

1.2 EMILY PARSONS (1834-?), born in 1833 or 1834.

1.3 THOMAS PARSONS (1838-?), born in 1836 or 1837. He was a market gardener in Ludgvan in 1877. He was the 'lawful attorney' for the administration of his uncle William's English estate (William had died at Wallaroo in Australia in 1870).

1.4 ANN CORIN PARSONS (1840-?) married James Toms, a miner, at Redruth in 1863. They emigrated to New Zealand in the same year.

1.4.0.0.0.1 LOIS FAWCETT (19??-) is descended from her, and lives at Unit 4, 1 Oakland Ave., Papatoetoe, New Zealand.

1.5 AMELIA PARSONS (1842-?), born at Penzance in the first quarter of 1842.

1.6 JOHN PARSONS (1844-?), born in 1843 or 1844.

1.7 MARY JANE PARSONS (1846-?), born in 1845 or 1846.

1.8 ROBERT PARSONS (1850-?), born in 1849 or 1850.

2 PHILIP CORIN (1804?-1863) was born in Penzance in 1804 or 1805. On 9 April (?19 March) 1825 he married Catherine Oates, the 20-year-old daughter of Frances Oates, who farmed at Truthall in Ludgvan. The marriage took place at Ludgvan, and it seems that the couple moved there.

In 1836, Philip (or another of the same age) had an altercation at Chyandour Bridge with a Thomas Rodda, as a result of which the latter died. Philip was charged with manslaughter as a result of the coroner's inquest, and was tried on 28 March 1837. The account in the West Briton (which gives his age as 23, whereas the same report in the Falmouth Packet and HO27/53 say 33) ran:

Philip Corin, 23, was charged on the Coroner's Inquest with the manslaughter of Thomas Rodda. The counsel who conducted the prosecution, stated to the Jury that in cases like the present where death followed from injuries received, unless there could be found to be malice aforethought, the charge would not amount to murder. - It was, therefore, very properly set forth in the indictment in this case as manslaughter. He then stated the case by saying that on Saturday the 30th of July last, Thomas Rodda went to Penzance with a mule and cart, to meet his daughter. - He waited till the evening and was disappointed by her not coming. - Returning home, he staid at Chyandour-bridge, and while there he met with the prisoner, Corin. Corin requested to ride home with him, to which Rodda objected. Corin afterwards upset the cart, which fell on Rodda. When he was taken up he complained of being hurt. He, however, arrived at home, and in the morning sent for his brother, who found him suffering acutely. A surgeon was sent for, but death took place on the following Monday morning. This statement was made out in evidence, except for the falling of the cart on the deceased, and his complaining of being hurt. The deceased made a long statement to his brother which differed materially from the evidence given by William Hinson and John Smith; this the counsel for the prisoner accounted for by saying that the deceased was in liquor, and that he had probably from that cause, and being blind of one eye, upset the cart himself. The pain under which he laboured, and the stupecation caused by his inebriety, so affected his brain, as to cause a confusion of ideas. The Judge very ably and clearly recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who, after a consultation of a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of not guilty.

It also seems that Philip carried on the trade of a blacksmith, living in Penzance. In 1843 he owned a small orchard at Truthwall. However, in 1847 the family moved to Aston, near Birmingham, living in one of the newly-built streets in the rapidly-expanding suburb. At the time of the 1851 census, the whole family, with the exception of the eldest son, Philip, were living at 16 Saltley Road.

Philip died on 11 June 1863, and his wife lived on in Aston until 1883. They had ten children:

2.1 CATHERINE CORIN (1825-1881), baptized on 5 October 1825 at Ludgvan. (The baptism is also recorded at Penzance, where Philip and Catherine were probably living at the time.) She married Joseph (?John) Polgrain, the son of David Polgrain, a sailor, on 17 July 1848 in Birmingham, after the birth of an illegitimate child in 1847. She died on 20 April 1881.

2.1.1 ELIZABETH MARY CORIN (1847-?) was born illegitimately in 1847 and baptized at Marazion.

In 1851 the family were at 19 Bloomsbury St., Aston. In 1871 he was widowed, and living with his mother at 41 Bloomsbury St. Philip and Emma had five children, including a son:

2.2.3 WILLIAM CORIN (?1854-?) born in Birmingham. He was in constant trouble with the law, being sentenced to 28 days for vagrancy in May 1871, discharged for theft in July, given six weeks for stealing money in August, three months for vagrancy in October. In March 1872 he was sentenced to three months as a rogue, and again in October for larceny and vagrancy. Finally in July 1873 he was committed to seven years' penal servitude at Warwick Second Sessions for "stealing a can of tea at Aston on April 29". He served his sentence at Pentonville and from May 1874 to 27 Decmber 1878 at Portland, where he was taught the trade of striker. (His progress was aid to be "good".

He was described at 5'5" tall, with fresh complexion, thin hair, hazel eyes and proportionate build. He had a burn mark on the bridge of his nose, had lost the end of his left thumb, a mole on the centre of his chest, a cut on his left eyebrow, a scar on the back of his right hand and right wrist, and was round-shouldered.

He was released on parole to the Birmingham branch of the Distressed Prisoners Aid Society.

In 1856 they were living at 15 Adam St., Duddeston, but in 1861 they were back in Aston, at 27 Bloomsbury St., next door to Harriet's brother, John. He was widowed in 1874, and lived on until 1903.

The marriage took place at St Saviour's, Saltley, on 10 October 1874, with Jacob Corin and Selina Wright (née Corin), her sister, as witnesses. They had ten children. Mary Ann Allen was widowed in 1900, and remarried on 15 March 1903 to John Goddard. She was widowed again in 1923. Around 1930, Mary Ann had two shops in Birmingham selling second-hand furniture and and dealing with house clearances. She died in 1939.

Charlotte and Joseph's children were:

2.8.1 JOSEPH FRANCES HILL (1866-1937), born on 2 June 1866 at 170 Bloomsbury St, Nechells, Birmingham. On 6 May 1895 he married Catherine Reaney at St Ann's Church, Bordesley, Birmingham. They continued to live at Bloomsbury Street until Joseph's exuberant efforts to organize a labour union in the Saltley Coach Works resulted in his black-listing and forced emigration to London, Ontario in about 1909. He died in London, Ontario on 6 January 1937.

Joseph and Catherine had five children. One daughter, born on 1 January 1901, celebrated her hundredth birthday in 2001. She is the mother of John J Anderson.

2.8.2 LOUIS HILL (1868-19??), born on 26 September 1868. He moved to Old London in his adult years and married Theophilis (m/s unknown). They had one son and one daughter.

2.8.3 CHARLOTTE HILL (1871-1874), known as LOTTIE, born on 29 June 1871 in New Orleans. She died of radiator burns in Nechells, Birmingham on 7 December 1874.

2.8.4 CHARLES HILL (1873-19??), born on 5 June 1873 in New Orleans, U.S.A. He married Emily (Theo's sister). The family moved to New Zealand in 1911.

2.9 JOHN CORIN (1846-?), born in 1846 at Marazion. He married Emma, daughter of Edward Cosnet, in Birmingham in 1867. They had a daughter:

2.9.1 EMMA COSNET (1867-?). (The surname may have been mistranscribed, or she may have been illegitimate.

2.10 MARGARET DAVEY CORIN (1848-?) was born in Birmingham in 1848. Davey was her maternal grandmother's maiden name. In 1865 she married Owen Joseph McKenna, the son of Patrick McKenna.

3 WILLIAM CORIN (1808-1870), baptized at Penzance on 3 January 1808. He married Eliza Jones at Madron on 3 May 1827. Elizabeth Corin (perhaps William's elder sister) was a witness. He may well have served in the coastguard in the 1830s, as, despite the evidence of the 1841 census returns, two of his children were baptized on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, at Worth Matravers and Corfe Castle, and it seems that at this time, he was stationed at Bottom, above Chapman's Pool, a notorious haunt for smugglers. He was an agricultural labourer, living in North Street, Penzance, in 1841, and may later have become a cordwainer, as his daughter Priscilla's death certificate describes him as a bootmaker.

(The following is largely based on notes prepared by Jane Frances Corin, a descendant.)
William was widowed in 1842. The next year, he married Alice Richards, aged 31, a miner's daughter, on 3 June at Madron. The couple emigrated to Australia, leaving Plymouth on 21 June 1849 aboard the Macedon and arriving in Port Adelaide, South Australia on 3 October 1849. William and his son, William Philip, are both described in the Final Certificate of Departure as Agricultural Labourers. In July 1851, either father or son travelled aboard the brig Gazelle to Sydney, New South Wales, returning a few months later aboard the brig Thomas Henry (although this could be a William Corren who was recorded as being in the colony at the time of the South Australian 1841 Census). In 1854 a W Corin, labourer, is registered in the South Australian Almanac as a resident in Hindley Street, Adelaide. The following year, the address is ’Saracens Head’ Carrington St. In December 1854, William Corin, described as a miner of Adelaide, purchased the Saracens Head Inn, paying a £700 deposit and mortgaging the remaining £858 at an interest of 10%. William is recorded as being the publican of the Saracens Head Inn from 1855 to 1859. While he is no longer publican from 1860 onwards he retained the mortgage on the property until 1867. In March 1859, William and Alice’s eldest daughter died. A memorium in the Register newspaper reads:

Dorothy Ann Corin ’Saracens Head Inn’ Carrington Street. Daughter of William and Alice of Penzance, Cornwall. 16 years. Her end was peace. 5th March 1859.

In October 1859, William’s eldest daughter, Priscilla, married Richard Hull in Ballarat, Victoria. Sometime before this, Priscilla had moved to Bakery Hill amongst the Ballarat goldfields where, according to her marriage certificate, she worked as a servant. Emily, William’s youngest, seems to have followed Priscilla to Ballarat, marrying a John Lathlean there in 1861.

William and Alice moved to Yorke Peninsula sometime after 1860 where William worked in the copper mines of the Wallaroo Mining Company. William’s daughter, Emily, returned to South Australia with her husband, and their first son, William Henry was born there in August 1864. In April 1865 William’s son, William Philip, also a miner at the Wallaroo Mines, married Agnes McLeish, and sometime after 1866 William’s other daughter, Priscilla, returned to South Australia. In 1865, William’s cousin, Thomas Hand (son of Phillip’s sister, Mariana) arrived in South Australia and settled nearby at Moonta, where the Tippara Mineral Association had also commenced copper production. Moonta, together with Kadina (where the Wallaroo Mines were) and Port Wallaroo, formed the ’Copper Triangle’ and due to the large contingent of Cornish who worked the mines and established their communities there, this area came to be known as ’Little Cornwall’.

In 1867 William Corin signed over the full ownership of the Saracens Head Inn ’in lieu of moneys owed’. Three years later he died of pneumonia and was buried in the Kadina Cemetery on 16 September 1870, registered as ”Coran, William, adult of Kadina”. William’s wife Alice lived on at Wallaroo Mines, dying there in 1905. She was buried at the Kadina Cemetry on 27 December, her age given as 96.

3.1 MARY ANN CORIN (1828-1847), baptized at Penzance on 9 July 1828(?). She died at Penzance in December 1847.

3.2 WILLIAM PHILLIP CORIN (1832-1902), born in Penzance in 1832. However, he appears to be the William Philip Corin baptized at Worth Matravers, Dorset, on 14 October 1832, the son of William, a boatman, and Eliza. He arrived in Australia in October 1849. Like his father, William Philip is recorded as being a Farm Labourer in the Certificate of Final Departure. In the 1860’s he was working as a miner at the Wallaroo Mines on Yorke Peninsula. He married Agnes McLeish at the Wesleyan Chapel at Kadina, South Australia.

Born 16 July 1844 at Dry Creek in South Australia, Agnes was the daughter of George McLeish, a Scotsman, who had emigrated from Glasgow to South Australia in 1839.

William Philip’s father died in 1870 and in 1877 his will was proved in Gulval, ”administered to one of the lawful attorneys of, William Philip Corin, son of, and only next of kin, now residing in Kadina”. (It is curious that William Philip is noted as ”the only next of kin, residing in Kadina”. Both Priscilla and Emily were next of kin, residing in Kadina at that time.) The ”lawful attorney of William Philip”, was William Phillip’s cousin, Thomas Parsons, the eldest son of his Aunt Elizabeth, nee Corin, living in Ludgvan.

William Philip’s family continued to live amongst the mine shafts, engine houses and sheds at Wallaroo Mines until at least 1878 when their sixth child, Agnes Emeline, was born. By 1881 they seem to be living in Kadina, the government surveyed township adjacent the mines. However, in 1882 William purchased 374 acres at Green Plains, West Cunliffe, a farming area not far from Kadina. He farmed there until he sold the property in 1893 and moved to Broken Hill, in New South Wales, where his eldest son, William Philip, was now living. William Philip lived another nine years and died at Broken Hill, Australia on 1 October 1902. He was buried in the Broken Hill Cemetery.

Agnes, his wife, survived him and around 1910 moved back to South Australia to live with her daughter Eliza, now McNeil, in Parkside. Agnes died in 1915 and was buried in the West Terrace Cemetery. William and Agnes Corin had eight children:

3.2.1 WILLIAM PHILIP CORIN (1866-1944). He was a miner. He married Emily Tremeling. In 1913, they were living in Comstock Street, Eyre Street South, Sturt, NSW, and in 1935 at 57 Cobalt Street, Broken Hill. Emily Corin lived until 1955. The couple had several children, including:

3.2.1.0 CECIL CUTHBERT CORIN (1892-19??), born in Broken Hill. He was a fitter in 1913. He married Blanche O A Eustice in Newcastle, NSW, in 1916.

3.2.1.0 WILLIAM HAROLD EDWARD CORIN (18??-19??), a machinist in 1913.

3.2.1.0 MERVYN JACK CORIN (19??-19??), a motor driver in 1935. He married Lucy Treago Papst at Broken Hill in 1936.

3.2.1.0 MERLE CORIN (19??-19??), at home in 1935.

3.2.1.0.1 JANE CORIN (19??-) of Adelaide, Australia.

3.2.2 GEORGE CORIN (1868-1922), born on 19 April 1868 at Wallaroo Mines, South Australia. He worked at the Wallaroo Mines and then moved to Broken Hill where he mined silver, probably, for the South Mine. Sometime after 1908 George was blinded in a mining accident (he was said to be in his 40’s). He eventually went to live with his sister, Agnes in Adelaide, South Australia. He died on 13 April 1922 aged 53 years, and was buried on 14 April at the West Terrace Cemetery. A memorial in the newspaper stated: ”A patient sufferer at rest.”

3.2.3 EDWIN CORIN (1870-1916), born on 17 July 1870 at Wallaroo Mines, South Australia. Known as Ted, he likely worked in the Wallaroo Mines and then the silver mines at Broken Hill in the 1890’s when the family moved there. In 1897 he was a witness to his sister Agnes’ marriage in Broken Hill, NSW, but later went to Western Australia, supposedly to prospect for gold. He died there, near Northam, in 1916. He may have married, as a Mabel Corrin also died near Northam the following year.

3.2.4 ALBERT JAMES CORIN (1873-1944), born on 1 January 1873 at Wallaroo Mines, South Australia. Like his brothers, ’Abe’ probably worked a few years at the Wallaroo Mines and then moved to Broken Hill with his family. It is told that Abe went to Western Australia with Ted to prospect for gold. In 1916, the year Ted died, he married Lottie Lovegrove in Subiaco, a suburb of Perth, but later moved to Coolgardie, a major gold mining town in central Western Australia, where he died in June 1944. Lottie, founder of the Boulder Branch of the Country Women’s Association, survived a further 11 years, dying on 8 December 1955 at Coolgardie.

3.2.5 CHARLES CORIN (1873-) born on 21 August 1875 at Wallaroo Mines.

3.2.6 AGNES EMELINE CORIN (1878-1949), born on 12 April 1878 at Wallaroo Mines. Agnes Emeline grew up on her parents' farm at Green Plains, West Cunliffe and then around 1893 moved with them to Broken Hill, NSW. She married English-born Charles Nicholas Wisdom in the Broken Hill Baptist Church on 14 October 1897. Sometime between May 1900 and July 1902 the couple moved to South Australia where they lived in Halifax Street, Adelaide.

Charles died in April 1907 at the age of 34, and Agnes remarried, to Leonard James Vincent, a baker. The couple lived in Darling Street, Medindie. Agnes died on 14 October 1949, aged 71 years. She was survived by her husband, Leonard who died in 1958 on 23 September.

Agnes and Charles Wisdom had four children:

He was a Minister of Religion when he first went to Western Australia (perhaps with his half sister Williyama) in 1934. He married Jean Scott, a teacher, in 1938. During the Second World War, he was a Chaplain in the Army and served overseas. After the war he retrained at the University of Adelaide as a Social Worker. During the fifties he was Senior Social worker with the Commonwealth Department of Immigration in Western Australia. In 1958 he moved to Darwin as Senior Social Worker for the Darwin Welfare Department. In 1961 he returned to Perth to take up a position, first with the Department of Repatriation, then as Head of the School of Social Work at Curtin University until his retirement in 1962.

3.2.8.1.1 LAWRANCE ANDERSON, known as Rance, who died unmarried and without issue.

3.3 PRISCILLA CORIN (1837-1904), was said on the 1841 census returns to have been born in Cornwall. However, there is a record of a Priscilla Corin, daughter of William Corin and Eliza, baptized at Corfe Castle on 22 October 1836. Her father's profession was given as enforcement officer, and it is noteworthy that William's brother, Jacob, was appointed an Excise Officer in 1835 and sometime after that moved to Wareham, Dorset. He was living at Bottom, on the boundary with Worth Matravers, overlooking the smuggling cove of Chapman's Pool. Precilla (sic) was 4 at the time of the 1841 Census (possibly to turn 5 later that year) and recorded as 11 in the Final Certificate of Departure of 1849.

The following additional information on Priscilla was supplied by Margaret Fehring, a descendant of Priscilla Corin.

Priscilla arrived with her family in South Australia in October 1849. She moved to Victoria, where she worked as a servant in the gold mining centre of Ballarat. In 1859 she married Richard Hull, a Presbyterian from Lancashire, England working on the gold fields. Both were residents of Bakery Hill. The Hulls were probably acquinted with the Burfurd family in Ballarat, for their daughter Elizabeth was buried in Old Ballarat Cemetery together with the three-month-old daughter of Jessie and John Burfurd. Their three children were all born in Ballarat but sometime after 1866, when their youngest child died, Priscilla moved back to the Kadina-Wallaroo area in South Australia, where her parents and siblings now resided. It is unclear whether Hull came with her and the two children, but in 1872, Richard died in Adelaide.

In October 1872 the widowed Priscilla married Richard Harwood Kelly Hill, an Irishman from Kings County and a miner at Wallaroo Mines. They married in her brother’s home and her sister in law, Agnes Corin, was a witness. The couple lived in Kadina from at least June 1873 and were resident in Milne Street, Kadina from 1875 to 1881 possibly sharing the place with her half-sister Emily’s family. Sometime between 1881 and 1890 Priscilla’s family moved to New South Wales. In 1891 they were in Victoria St, Adamstown. They were in Barraba, NSW, in 1896 when Richard Hill died. (A copper mine had started in Barraba in 1892.)

Priscilla married a third time, in 1898, at New Lambton, Newcastle, to a Henry Peters. She died 6 years later on 26 August 1904 at Adamstown, Newcastle and was buried two days later at the Sandgate Cemetery. Her children lived and had their families in the Cessnock area.

Priscilla and Richard Hull’s children were:

3.3.1 WILLIAM RICHARD HULL (1860-1919), born in 1860 at Ballarat, Victoria. He grew up in Kadina, South Australia. Around 1881, he went to Victoria with Julia Theresa Hudson with whom he had nine children and where William worked in hotels and as a woodturner.

Julia Hudson, born on 17 June 1854 in Kent, had emigrated to South Australia from England as the wife of David Barry. They left London on 21 May 1876 aboard the Oaklands, arriving in Adelaide on 16 August that year. The couple first went to Kooringa (the Burra Copper Mines) then found work at the Glen Warwick Pastoral Run at Barrata in the Frome District. By February 1881 Julia was living at Belair in the Adelaide Hills where she gave birth to Julia Susan Barry, the couple’s third child. It is not clear what happened to David Barry, but it is thought Julia may have had news of his death many years later, finally freeing William and her to marry.

They moved back to South Australia living in Adelaide between 1892 and 1898. By 1903 they were living at Cooks Hill in Newcastle, NSW, where William worked as a wood turner. On 17 February 1913 William and Julie married at Methodist Parsonage, Forest Lodge in Sydney, NSW. Six years later William died in a pneumonic flu epidemic and was buried on 7 July 1919 in the Sandgate Cemetery, Newcastle. William and Julia’s children were:

3.3.1.1 RICHARD JAMES HULL (1882-1967), born on 31 December 1882 at Korong, Gladstone in Victoria. In 1911 he married Mary Jane Gairns, who died three months after their second child was born. The two children went to live with their grandparents, William and Julia Hull and in 1919 Richard married Iva Darby. William died in July 1967 and was cremated at Rockwood Cemetery, Sydney.
