I would appreciate any comments or suggestions in my quest to find out what happened to Emma Pascoe and her father, Samuel Pascoe. Emma was born in 1856. I think it was in Breage but the baptism is not listed in the Breage parish records. Her parents were Samuel and Ann Johns. Both were born in 1818, he in Sithney and her in Breage. They were married in Breage in 1839. All three appeared on the 1861 census. Samuel was a copper miner who emigrated to Calumet, Mich, USA in 1866 or 67 with his family. Emma was on the passenger list. Samuel and Ann appeared on the 1870 US census. Emma, however, was missing. She re-appeared again in Cornwall when she married a William Pascoe (same surname) in Helston in 1873. William died in 1904 in Helston but i couldn't find a death/burial record for Emma. I would also like to know when Emma returned to Cornwall and if her parents died in the US or did they return to Cornwall later. I did see an Ann Pascoe on the 1891 census of Canada. She was listed as a 73 year old widow living in Hastings West, ONT. I wonder if Samuel died in US or Canada. Like to hear from anybody that could help solve this mystery. David
