Enjoyed reading your Family history . Very informative and amusing at times.
I also have Newlyn/Cornish ancestors , generations of Fishermen from the James and Boase lineage. My 3x Great Grandfather was a Henry James a fisherman and Seaman’s Misionary in later life. Religion was a big thing back then especially Methodism .
Another Cornish ancestor was Charles Boase who was a crew member on the “Mystery ” the lugger that sailed from Newlyn to Australia in 1854. There are also Tonkin ancestors along the way. You never know we may be related too!
Thanks for your time .

Maybe! Or perhaps our ancestors were crewmates or buddies (although perhaps not drinking buddies if they were Methodists) 🙂
