DATES OF READING - October 1861

Listed in places as a Coal Miner, born in Bodmin, Cornwall, England. Born in Late 1841 (Oct, Nov, Dec)

Elsewhere listed as born in June 1840 in St. Blazey, Cornwall and a Policeman.

His wife Alice immigrated to the USA May 1, 1885 aboard the Inman Line's "City of Rome" from Liverpool to New York. Luke Lukes had already immigrated, and she must have met up with her husband, as Robert Lukes was born in Iowa within a year of her arrival.

Married Alice and had a few children in Latchely, Calstock, Cornwall before moving to New Seaham, Durham, England after 1865 and before 1870.

  • Their address in 1871 was Seaham, Christchurch, Seaton Colliery, Easington, Durham, England

Coming to America I suspect one of the reasons to leave England in 1881 was the horrible colliery explosion in September 1880. http://www.east-durham.co.uk/seaham/seahamcolliery/general/seaham_c...
