He was my 3rd Grt Uncle.

Sooo sad!

:-(

O I am pleased it may have helped.

That poor Richard junior. What a way to have spent his short life, no hands then having a chimney fall on him unlucky or what?

Found it......Thanks Chris. x

(possibly Navy Richard above)

Chris :)

Morning

Well, all the above information ties in with the information I have.

When you mentioned the "chimney" incident Chris, I realised it was the son Richard who died in 1864.I have a photo of his gravestone.

How unlucky can one man be!!! Poor soul.

Thank you very much for all you help.

Mel.......Perhaps that is my Richard on the naval service record, which is why he can't be found on the census in 1841.

Many thanks for hanging in there with me.

Prickles. :-) xxx

Good find Chris and all very interesting.

(gives Pool, for that AQ)

(bit more on that accident)

25 November 1857 - The Cornish Telegraph - Penzance, Cornwall

Serious Mining Accident.
On Friday, a serious accident happened to a man named Richard Prynn, while working at Wheal Mary Ann Mine...

(ends by saying, He has by this unfortunate accident become incapacitated from doing anything towards the maintenance of his family, consisting of a wife and 4 children.)


Oh, below result, from google search wheal mary ann mine

At first sight it appears that other than census returns very few records exist that may help us to put some flesh and blood on these nameless thousands. However, through conventional research and the badgering of fellow researchers it has transpired that a surprising amount of archives survive, in both public and private collections. By attempting to collate all references to Cornish miners and their families that I come across, it is possible to develop a clearer picture of their lives from the cradle to the grave, and it is with this objective that a computer database named THE CORNISH MINING INDEX has been instigated. For example, a search for a RICHARD PRIN(N) of Menheniot provides us with quite a revealing image of his life (sources in brackets). RICHARD PRIN(N) son of RICHARD and MARTHA, born circa 1822, married ELIZABETH BARRETT born circa 1825 at Stoke Damerell on 5 April 1846 (Strays Index). On the night of 30th March 1851 Richard, his wife and one year old son HENRY are residing at Menheniot, and Richard's occupation is given as Lead miner (1851 Census). However this was not to be for long, for on 13th November 1857 Richard's hands are shattered in an explosion at Wheal Mary Ann, which ultimately drew to a close his mining career ("The Cornish Times" 22-11-1857). But Richard must have been quite some character, despite having lost both arms, in 1864 he is working as a wagon driver. Unfortunately fate was unkind yet again, for on 7th June 1864 whilst delivering coal with his son Henry in Liskeard he is fatally injured when a chimney of a house being demolished fell on him ("The Cornish Times" 11-6-1864), and was finally laid to rest at Menheniot on 17th June 1864.

Gosh it must have been terrible down those mines.

I was watching Full Steam Ahead the other night and they showed how they drilled holes with a big long spike that they had to keep turning each time they rammed it in.

That was in a slate mine but the same thing in other mines too.
