| Notes for Elizabeth JENKINS | ||||||||||||||
| Thomas's widow, Elizabeth at some stage moved to mainland Cornwall with the children - certainly before 1840 when she re-married. On 22 February 1840, Elizabeth Deason married Philip Bonetto at St Just-in-Penwith, Anglican Church. Philip was noted as: “aged 47 years; a bachelor; occupation, a miner; residence, Carrack; father, Philip Benetto, a miner”. Elizabeth was noted as: “aged 46 years; a widow; residence, Carrarack; father, Walter Jenkins, a farmer”. They were married by the Vicar, John Walker and the witnesses were James Hall and John Tregear. Both Philip and Elizabeth made their mark “X”. Note: the marriage certificate incorrectly recorded Elizabeth's surname as “Deaken” and Philip's surname was incorrectly indexed under “Bennet”.2 Philip Bonetto died 14 December 1847 at the Union Workhouse, Madren, Cornwall. His death certificate recorded that he died of “consumption” and was a “miner” aged “55 years”. These later details are consistent with marriage details. Workhouse rules required the destitute to walk a fixed distance in order to qualify (probably about 5 miles). The Madren Poor-Law Union Workhouse, would therefore qualify for those living in the St Just area. Further research required.2 The 1841 Census recorded the following entry: “Parish of St Just Place: Cararack” [spelling is not clear] “Names: Philip Bonetto, aged 45 years, miner Elizabeth Bonetto, aged 45 years Thomas Deason, aged 15 years, miner John Deason, aged 12 years, tin dresser”. Note: the 1841 Census record had a specific way in which to denote inhabitants in the same house who were not related; this was not the case for the record shown above, i.e. they were indicated as a single family unit. This could only mean that Elizabeth Bonetto was the mother of the two boys.2 It is likely that the place noted in the 1841 Census is the 'Carrarrack' noted in the Gazetteer of Cornwall 1884. The Gazetteer recorded it as simply, “22 acres” - as if referring to a farm. Other records refer to it as ”Cararack”, ”Carraracke” and “Cararrack”. Its exact location is not known according to current Cornish researchers. Certainly, a public house existed at the site - the 'Queen's Arms' - as late as 1873. In the 1841 Census book entries for the villages of Carnyorth and Botallack were recorded on the preceding pages to the Cararack entry with the entry for Truthwall on the following page. This may indicate that Carrarrack lay somewhere between these locations.2 What we do know from the 1841 Census is that Cararack was a small village of 14 households. There was at least one shop, and while most households were noted as miners, two were noted as farmers. This could indicate that Cararack may have been originally been a small farming village.2 How many years the family spent in Cararack is not known. The family were probably in nearby Botallack in 1843 and were in Trewellard in 1851. However, the period at Cararack would have been very formative and likely to be where he first became involved with mining. Some of the village people would later meet up again with John on the Victorian goldfields.2 Died on 3rd July 1868 at Tresco, Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, England.3 (Page 282). | ||||||||||||||

| http://www.tregarthen.com/marriage%20register.htm, (September 2002): Deason Thomas Jenkins Elizabeth Aug 1820 b TR s TR Thomas was from Tresco, Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, England. Transcribed from the “Off Island Registers” by the late R. M. Baxter: 23. MARRIAGE: 6 August 1820 Thomas Deason, Bachelor & Elizabeth Jenkin spinster both of the Island of Tresco were married in this Church of Tresco by Banns by me Jas. Lane Min: In the presence of Thomas Deason William Pender The Mark X of John Ellis Mary Jenkin ( In the narrative 'Mary' has been corrected to 'Elizabeth')Transcriber's note! At the time of Thomas’s baptism in 1785 the family was noted as living at Tresco.2 At the time of their marriage in 1820, Thomas was noted as a “bachelor” and Elizabeth a “spinster”, both were of Tresco. They were married by banns by Jas. Lane; Elizabeth (incorrectly registered as “Mary and later corrected to read “Elizabeth”) made her mark “X”, Thomas did not; witnesses William Pender and John Ellis.2 At the time of the birth of their daughter, Grace (about 1822) and baptism of son, Thomas (1826), the family were noted as being from Tresco.2 Thomas died in September 1830 as a result of drowning when the pilot boat 'Hope' foundered after returning from St Martins. Five out of the eight crew of the gig were drowned. Other than Thomas (noted as age 46), the deaths included James Jenkin, aged 67; Charles Jenkin, aged 35; and John Odger, aged 54. All were buried on 27 September 1830. The school-teacher and the parish priest were among the survivors. It is likely that both James and Charles Jenkin were related to Thomas Deason through either Thomas's wife, Elizabeth Jenkins and/or Thomas's sister, Mary Deason, who married James Jenkin. Charles may even have been James's son.2 Thomas was noted as a farmer on the death certificate of his son, Thomas, in 1843 and again, in 1858, when his son, John, married for second time in Australia. Thomas was also noted as a fisherman at the time of his son's first marriage in 1851, Penzance.2 Thomas's widow, Elizabeth at some stage moved to mainland Cornwall with the children - certainly before 1840 when she re-married. On 22 February 1840, Elizabeth Deason married Philip Bonetto at St Just-in-Penwith, Anglican Church. Philip was noted as: “aged 47 years; a bachelor; occupation, a miner; residence, Carrack; father, Philip Benetto, a miner”. Elizabeth was noted as: “aged 46 years; a widow; residence, Carrarack; father, Walter Jenkins, a farmer”. They were married by the Vicar, John Walker and the witnesses were James Hall and John Tregear. Both Philip and Elizabeth made their mark “X”. Note: the marriage certificate incorrectly recorded Elizabeth's surname as “Deaken” and Philip's surname was incorrectly indexed under “Bennet”.2 Philip Bonetto died 14 December 1847 at the Union Workhouse, Madren, Cornwall. His death certificate recorded that he died of “consumption” and was a “miner” aged “55 years”. These later details are consistent with marriage details.
