Pascoe Family of Cornwall UK + New Zealand and 23 Million Pound
« on: Wednesday 22 June 22 01:46 BST (UK) »
Hi,

My Cousin married Thomson who's Mother was a Pascoe from this Line

The article was published in two newspapers in New Zealand 11 March 1932 [source New Zealand Past papers] Ive been asked if I can put together

the Cornwall Family...we have the story but not the Family lineage.....Oh and the Money "disappeared"

So far Ive been able to find Arthur James Pascoe and Rev William Pascoe ..appears their Father had five brothers

Briefly there were three brothers all Cornishmen who I believe were tin miners and left Cornwall for a better life.

Two brothers went to Melbourne and Ballarat Australia following the gold and the other brother went to Peru.

The other brother a  Miner who went to Peru had a silver mine and became fabulously wealthy and the story goes that he paved the pathway to the church with silver when his daughter was married.

Sadly she died young and when he died the inheritance went back to England for distribution to the family but there was a missing link and it was never distributed we were told?

The Interesting bit here is that the papers from England were given to  a Pastor James Pascoe who presented the paper to the family.  I believe this was in the 1930s by the way.

Now he was a bit of a rouge and pretty smart and grabbed the paper off the Pastor or Minister and said “ I will sort this out with my lawyer”

Nothing was ever heard again? The understanding I have is that it wasn’t pursued by the family as they didn’t want to be unchristian and worry about such things as Money?

If someone is able to help find Arthur James Pascoes Father and 5 brothers of Cornwall maybe something about the Pascoe mine in South America that would be wonderful...

all helps to make an even better story..

Thankyou

The Article reads.....23,000,000 Fortune, New Zealand Claimants, Auckland Friday

Mr Arthur James Pascoe of Christchurch expects to inherit part of a fortune of 23,000,000 which was left by his Fathers great Uncle in America.

Mt James Pascoe of the firm of Jewelers of Auckland said yesterday that he had not heard anything about such a prospective good fortune, but he would certainly make inquiries. His Family came from Cornwall, where the Christchurch family originated, he said and most people of that name were connected. He was in Cornwall two years ago and saw a house that belonged to his great-grandfather, so they were old identities in that duchy.

It is stated by the Christchurch Mr Pascoe that the existence of the fortune has been known for a long time, One of the brothers the Rev William Pascoe was leaving for Cornwall to establish the claim of Identity.

The death of the Women members of the family had made it possible for his Father and his Fathers five brothers to make

Perhaps you can give information about these people - when and where born, who was the father and his brothers?

You need to trace your family in the usual way, purchasing certificates to confirm the line.  How do you know that Arthur James PASCOE is related to you?

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/AG19320628.2.54

Mr Pascoe recently sold his interest in the Health Supply Depot, of which he was formerly manager.

The 1935 electoral roll has him as a Herbalist living in Wellington with his wife Ruby Marion (nee ROBERTS).  They were married in 1926. 

Two possible births - 1898, parents Simon and Emma, and 1902, parents Albert and Sarah Ann. 

The other Arthur James married Vera GIBSON in 1928 and he was a farmer at Mataura.

Without basic information of when and where Arthur James Pascoe was born, and the name of his parents, there is very little anyone can do to help you.
Milligan - Jardine – Glencross – Dinwoodie - Brown: (Dumfriesshire & Kirkcudbrightshire)
Clark – Faulds – Cuthbertson – Bryson – Wilson: (Ayrshire & Renfrewshire)
Neale – Cater – Kinder - Harrison: (Warwickshire & Queensland)
Roberts - Spry: (Cornwall, Middlesex & Queensland)
Munster: (Schleswig-Holstein & Queensland) and Plate: (Braunschweig, Neubruck & Queensland & New York)

Now my brother, Rev. William Pascoe, who is in Australia, is going to proceed to England in order to prove our identity. We have succeeded in tracing back to Ballarat my father’s marriage and think we will establish beyond dispute that Edward Pascoe lo whom the legacy originally was left, was my grandfather, who was a stonemason by trade.

1898, parents Simon and Emma

Simon PASCOE married Emma GOODWIN in NZ in 1890 and he was born in NZ in 1868.  His parents Simon and Caroline married in Ballarat, Victoria in 1866.  This marriage cert would tell you if his father was named Edward.

Hi and Thankyou,
That link you posted...well done hadnt seen the last paragraph before....5 Pascoe Families claiming a share in the fortune
one in America...which Ive been told Peru
two in Australia  Rev William and John Pascoe..John died 1914 Victoria Aust
one in NZ
and one somewhere else...Im guessing Cornwall UK
This was a pretty big deal, I just cant believe the silver miner [no name yet] in Peru with that much wealth never went back to Cornwall and Family for a holiday. havnt been able to find a shipping entry as yet.
Cheers Rick
