CORNISH PIONEERS OF BENDIGO

(Compiled by Leanne Lloyd)

This is an attempt to document the many Cornish born pioneers who spent time in Bendigo at

some stage in their life. We have tried to find as many names a possible but realise that this database is only the tip of the iceberg. The criteria we set when compiling this database was to record the names and biographical information of as many Cornish born pioneers as possible. The person should be born in Cornwall and have spent a period of time (no matter how short) in Bendigo to qualify. Where possible I have endeavoured to record the names of parents and year and place of birth in Cornwall. The name of spouse/s is included and year of marriage. If that spouse is also Cornish born then they too will have a record in their own right. Dates of death if known and place of death if outside the Bendigo area is included when known. The children born to the marriage are also documented in some cases so that further Cornish bloodlines can be established. If the information has been given by a family member or researcher then they are identified and information given about them for further contact if necessary. Thank you to all who have made a contribution to this database, in particular Ruth Hopkins for sharing with me many years of her research and interests in the Cornish of Bendigo and beyond.

Please note:

The place names and names of people given in this database are recorded as they are written in the records. There are many variations and it is up to family members to ascertain the correct spellings and to determine which spelling is the correct one. I have given the information as it was found and recognise that some entries will contain inconsistent or incorrect data but it is beyond my control in most cases.
