Book Synopsis Wives - Mothers - Daughters - Widows by : Sue Appleby
Download or read book Wives - Mothers - Daughters - Widows written by Sue Appleby and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Cornwall has for centuries been the source of migrants to all parts of the world. This has generated a broad literature on Cornish emigration and the Cornish abroad, much of it concentrated on the better-known destinations of the USA, Australia, and South Africa; related to the international mining industry of the 19th century; and dominated by men and their stories. Appleby breaks the mould by examining the lives of female indentured servants, wives of mariners, miners, and missionaries, and ‘ladies of quality’, who, for many different reasons, spent time in the Caribbean. There has been a gathering tide of research and literature into the lives of Cornish women in recent years but, so far, less work has concentrated on the women of the Cornish diaspora, so this new book is a very welcome addition to that literature.” Dr Lesley Trotter, Honorary Research Fellow, Institute of Cornish Studies, University of Exeter. Wives - Mothers - Daughters - Widows is the first book to examine the lives of Cornish women who left their homes to spend time in the Caribbean colonies.
Book Synopsis The Cornish in the Caribbean by : Sue Appleby
Download or read book The Cornish in the Caribbean written by Sue Appleby and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to look specifically at the movement of Cornish men and women to and from the Caribbean from the early days of colonialism. A fascinating subject for those with an interest in all things Cornish, be they in Cornwall, in the Caribbean, or in the wider Cornish diaspora. The Cornish in the Caribbean is the first study to tell the stories of some of the many Cornish men and women who went to the Caribbean. Some became wealthy plantation owners, while others came as indentured servants and labourers. Cornish men were active in the armed services, taking part in the numerous sea and land battles fought by the competing European powers throughout the region. Cornish officers and crew sailed on the ships of the Falmouth Packet Service which took the mail to and from the Caribbean. Methodism was strong in Cornwall and Methodist missionaries and their wives came to the Caribbean to evangelise both the enslaved and the newly free. The most striking transfer of Cornish skills to the Caribbean was to be found in mining. As Cornish mining declined, and the Great Emigration of miners and their families got underway, Cornish mining engineers, captains and miners went out to mines throughout the Caribbean. “Meticulously researched and highly readable” Bridget Brereton, Professor Emerita, University of the West Indies.

Book Synopsis The Hammers of Towan by : Sue Appleby
Download or read book The Hammers of Towan written by Sue Appleby and published by Matador. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hammers of Towan: A Nineteenth-Century Cornish Family centres around the life of the author's great-grandfather Philip Henry Hammer, his three wives, and his children by his first wife, Jane Opie. The book tells the story of a now vanished world - the life and times of a 19th century Cornish farmer, the tenant of Towan Farm, near St. Austell. Here family life revolved around the big granite-floored farmhouse kitchen where Jane prepared traditional Cornish fare using old recipes - many of which are included in the book. Running Towan as a profitable enterprise was hard work but, throughout the year, the family took part in the many local festivals and traditions that provided a welcome chance to celebrate the changing seasons. The family story plays out against the background of Cornwall's mining industry, once vibrant but now in decline. As the local economy continued to fail, the migration of Cornish men and women in search of employment grew, and all nine of the Philip Henry and Jane's children left Cornwall in search of work, making new lives for themselves and their families. They settled 'up country' in London, in Wales, in South Africa, and in Australia, and some eventually returned to Cornwall where, no matter how long they been gone, they always returned to Towan.

Book Synopsis Origins of English Pub Names by : Anthony Poulton-Smith
Download or read book Origins of English Pub Names written by Anthony Poulton-Smith and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how England's pubs got their names? How did some of the more weird and wonderful ones come into being? What is the history behind such names as Blink Bonny, Bucket of Blood, Lamorna Wink and My Father's Moustache? England's pubs have always been at the heart of the community they serve and their names are instantly recognisable, even when taken out of context. Coming almost from a language of their own, these names all have an origin and a meaning, with such diverse beginnings as heraldic imagery, religion, advertising, location, wildlife, humour and persons of note. Origins of English Pub Names features some of the most obscure names, alongside one or two well-known favourites such as the Red Lion and the Dukes Head, and is a must-have for all those interested in learning a little of the history behind their local. This fascinating book will appeal to historians and etymologists everywhere and, indeed, anyone who has enjoyed a lazy afternoon in a pub and, perhaps, contemplated the origin of its name.
