Notes



Hugh Long
See wife's (Elizabeth's) notes for 1841 and 1851 census entry. Notes from Jillian Trethewey. Hugh Long (~1784) and Elizabeth Hodge were married at Gwennap on the 28th February 1810. Hugh signed his name but Elizabeth signed with a cross. The witnesses were William Hodge and Crastin Morcom. At last the Parish Register gives a little more detail: each time one of his children was baptised it was noted that Hugh was a tin minor and the family were living at St Day. Hugh and Elizabeth Long were the last of our Long family to live probably all their lives in St Day and Gwennap. By the time their children were adults the mines around St Day were closing and the younger generation had no choice but to go elsewhere in search of work. The eldest son Hugh (~1819) and his wife and family emigrated to South Australia c1847. William is believed to have gone to Mexico to work in the mines and died there. His widow and three of his children emigrated to Australia. John, Joel, Martha and Francis went north to Stoke Climsland on the Cornwall/Devon border. Later Martha and her husband William Trethewey joined the rush to the Victorian goldfields. Hugh (~1784) is most likely buried at St Day. The 1840 Tithe Map of Gwennap and St Day records that Elizabeth Long rented a garden, area 5 perch, in the village of St Day. This Elizabeth may be Hugh's widow. There is no mention of Hugh. The 1841 Census of St Day is illegible in places but certainly there was no mention of Hugh or Elizabeth in the 1851 Census of St Day, suggesting that they had already died. (But see Elizabeth's notes for 1851 census details.) If any descendants of William, John, Joel or Francis still live in Cornwall they won't be tin miners. In 1986 the last tin mine operating in Cornwall closed. The major industry in Cornwall now is tourism. According to Bessie Long, Hugh (~1784) was killed at Wheal Gorland Mine in 1831 and was buried at Gwennap Parish Church.

Hugh Long
Notes from Jillian Trethewey. Hugh Long (~1819) was the eldest son of Hugh and Elizabeth Long, nee Hodge. He was christened in 1819 at Gwennap, Cornwall, and spent his childhood in the neighbouring village of St Day. Hugh became a miner like his father and found work where he could in the copper mines of Cornwall. In 1842 Hugh was working in a mine near Chun, a village in the parish of St Just in Penwith, near Land's End. On October 17th 1842, Hugh married a local girl, Jane Hocking, the nineteen year old daughter of miner Joseph Hocking. They were married in the St Just Parish Church. Hugh could sign his name but Jane signed with a cross. The witnesses were John Hocking and John Tregear. Jane was born in the parish of St Just and Hugh and Jane were both living in the little village of Chun, near St Just. In the first six years of their marriage Jane gave birth to three sons: Francis Hocking, John and William John. They would have returned to Gwennap when Hugh was unemployed so that Hugh could claim "assistance" from the Parish to help feed his family. In 1841 world copper prices had begun to fall and over the next few years many of Cornwall's copper mines ceased operations. Unemployment rose and soon Hugh, like many of his friends, was finding it harder to get work to pay for food for himself and his family. The Gwennap Parish Vestry responded to this situation by offering free passages to South Australia to suitable families who were willing to emigrate. Already many Cornish miners had found work in the copper mines at Kapunda and Burra Burra. Faced with unemployment and poverty at home, the chance of a better life in a new colony must have been worth the sadness of leaving family and friends and the risks of a four month sea voyage in a sailing ship. Hugh Long, his wife and three children were among the twenty-six adults and sixty children who accepted the offer between October 1846 and June 1848. Hugh and Jane are presumed to have arrived in Adelaide sometime in 1848 or 1849, but by 1856 they had joined the goldrush to Victoria. Their ninth child, Henry, was born in November 1856 at Sailor's Gully, Sandhurst (Bendigo). Of the eldest eight children, only Frank 12, William 8 and Joseph 5 were still living. Hugh was a goldminer. Six more sons were born to Hugh and Jane in Victoria. The youngest, Thomas, was born in November 1866 at Heathcote, south of Bendigo, though his father's residence was Peg Leg, Eaglehawk, at the time. Perhaps his mother was visiting relatives. In 1872 Hugh and Jane and their six surviving sons travelled north to Queensland. Tin had been discovered and the rush was on to peg a claim. Cornishmen had mined tin for hundreds of years and so many Cornish miners in Victoria, like Hugh Long, had experience working in tin mines. High and his family settled at Stanthorpe, Queensland, and worked at the Brisbane Claim. Hugh died of bronchitis at Stanthorpe on 5th May 1881. He was 61 years old. Given that the bronchitis had been present for twelve months, it is probable that Hugh had either tubculosis or else miner's lung (silicosis) and died of pneumonia.

William Long
Notes from Jillian Trethewey William was born at St Day, Cornwall in 1821. He was a miner like his father and brothers. On October 2nd, 1842, at St Day, he married Elizabeth Potter. William could sign his name but Elizabeth signed with a mark. The witnesses were James and John Potter, family of the bride. Elizabeth, born at Mylor, Cornwall in about 1823, was the daughter of James Potter, a cordwainer (shoemaker), and his wife Cherry Richard. William and Elizabeth had four children: William John, Elizabeth, James and Hogh. The family were 'non-conformists', in this case Methodists. William John and High both emigrated to Victoria, Australia. William went to Mexico to work in the silver mines and died there of a fever. Mrs Elizabeth Long married again to a man named Hancock. She is said to have had another son and was widowed again before joining her eldest son in Victoria in about 1884. At that time William John Long was the licencee of the Victoria Hotel at Elmore and so Elizabeth made her home in Elmore. She made many new friends. Her daughter Elizabeth followed her there about 1888 and her son by Hancock would have liked to come out too, but could not afford it.

Notes from Jillian Trethewey. John, the fifth child of Hugh and Elizabeth Long, was baptised in Gwennap in 1823. When the mines at Gwennap began to close, John found work in the mines at Stoke Climsland, in the north of Cornwall on the border with Devon. In the 1851 Census he is listed lodging with a family named Donnals* at Stoke Climsland. On April 8th, 1852 he married Jane Ann Wearing at Stoke Climsland. John signed his name but Jane signed with a cross. The witnesses were Martha Long, who also signed with a cross, and William Fisher. MDB - My copy of the marriage certificate shows that both John and Jane signed with a cross! Martha Long was the name of John's younger sister who married William Trethewey at Stoke Climsland on 18th January 1855. See Martha Long's notes for more of Jillians notes. John and Jane had four children in Stoke Climsland, a further six in Pensilva, near Callington, one at a place unknown, and finally two at Burnley. Of these, at least five died in childhood and five grew to adulthood. The fate of the other three is unknown. * Bessie Long says that Mrs Donnals was John's sister, Mary!
