In 1841 James, an Ag Lab is living with his wife, Mary Anne and 9 children in Market St, St Day, Gwennap 1841 census. At that time, two children, Temperance and Matthew, are not present - they may have died.

This is Gwennap Pit, a natural depression in the ground that was carved out to form an amphitheatre. John Wesley used to preach her in the late 1700's, and on one occasion 20,000 people crowded into the pit to hear him. (photo Nigel Hicks)

Generation No. 2
2. JAMES2 PASCOE (JAMES1) was born Abt. 1827 in Gwennap, Cornwall. He married JANE OWEN in Wales.
Notes for JAMES PASCOE:
James apparently moved to Wales some time between 1841 and 1850, where he married Jane Owen. He and Jane appear in the 1851 Glamorgan census living at Pentrepoeth with their daughter Margaret, born in 1850. He is a coal miner.
Living 2 doors away also in Pentrepoeth (1851 census) are William and
Catherine Francis, both
born in Gwennap. It seems probable that William is a
cousin of James (whose mother's maiden name was Francis) - did James follow
William to Glamorgan - better prospects?

Auntie Betty lived at 2 Vagwyr Place all her life. Her house smelled wonderful - a mixture of paraffin and ancient furniture. She showed me her shroud once, saved in mothballs in a big wooden chest for when it would be needed - white with a lot of lace.

A lovely old lady, with a twitch in one eye, always used to write 'Brian' as 'Brain'. Vagwyr Place houses all had outside toilets, with newspaper neatly cut up and suspended from the wall with string. Auntie Betty helped Charlotte and her siblings a lot after their parents died. Her great friend was Mary Anne who lived a few doors away, and died of meningitis a few years before Aunty Betty. I don't think 'Aunty' Mary Anne was a relative but she may have been.
