Trewarveneth Street, Newlyn

Fact 3  1881 Census: William H & Sarah J  now have fourth child, Frederick. Son, Edward, is a messenger boy. 

Fact 4  1901 Census:   Edward John Badcock believed visiting Sculcoates  in Hull Yorkshire on business as the rest of the family are in St Ives :

Fact 5 At the time his will was drawn up (19th November 1938), Edward John Badcock (son of Sarah Jane Vingoe) was living at 6 Godrevy Terrace, St Ives and was a retired fish buyer.  He gave his son Edward his holding of 100 shares in R.R. Bath and Newlyn Ice Company Limited and he gave his friend John Martin his holding of 50 shares in the Newlyn Gaiety Theatre Company Limited.  His daughter Ethel May Jeffrey was living with him at the time.  His children Ethel, Edward, William Henry and Margaret (Berriman) were to each receive 20 pounds and his grandchildren Phyllis Jeffrey, Jean Jeffrey, Joyce Berriman, Terence Berriman and Ian Berriman were to each receive 10 pounds.  He does not mention his youngest, Sarah Elizabeth Badcock, nor his grandchild Margaret Daphne Berriman, so I don't know what happened to them.  I presume his wife had died.

Edgar and Edith  moved from Ontario to Manitoba and then to Saskatchewan, where they had a farm homestead from 1903 which has stayed in the family. Their granddaughter, Edith King, lives there with her husband & family and they recently celebrated the centenary of 'Mott Farm' which is  now on Mott Road! Cousin Edith received a letter from the National Children's Home and we then found out the story behind the emigration of the four children of William Henry Vingoe to Canada. After his death in 1882, his  widow Sarah Ann was finding it hard to make ends meet with four children to bring up. She applied to the National Children's Home to take one of her daughters Sarah Ann "was unable to maintain her family on her limited income (two shillings and sixpence per week) as a needlewoman.

 Edith Vingoe  was...............

"received into the home on 17th March 1885.She lived at our London Home until emigrating  to our Canada Branch in Hamilton in 1890.  She was described as an honest, good tempered, spirited child.  She was placed as a servant in the home of Rev Dr & Mrs Cochrane at Brantford.  She was very keen to train as a nurse, but was not accepted because she was not tall enough.  It appears that she then worked at our Hamilton Branch until the late 1890s and she married Edgar Mott in 1899.  She returned to England for a short while in 1898 and visited her mother.  During this time she worked for a while at our Alverstoke Branch on the South Coast, looking after crippled and delicate children, returning to Canada in 1899.  She last wrote to National Children's Home in 1956, with the help of her daughter Mrs S W Jefferson.  She was then living in New Westminster.  She was then aged 84."

Elizabeth (Bessie) Roberts Vingoe was...............

"admitted to the Home 13th May 1889, aged 17.  She had been in service in Penzance, but times were hard, she was unhappy and her mother felt she would have a better chance in life if she was able to go abroad.  Bessie sailed to Canada on May 17th 1889 and was placed in the household of Rev and Mrs Holmes at Stratford and Owensands, where she stayed until May 1892, when she moved to Toronto, Ontario.  The last letter on her file was from the home of a Mr and Mrs Manton.  Bessie had a considerable amount of ill health".

William Henry Vingoe.............

"went to Canada in March 1896 after an application from his mother, who felt he would have a better chance in life.  After a brief stay in Hamilton, he went to live with Bessie and her husband at Brantford.  He was there for three years and then worked for a firm called James Smith & Co, making harness and saddelry for horses and goats, returning to Hamilton for holidays. These three people kept in touch with each other and with their mother." Mabel VINGOE was not admitted to the National Children's Home but remained at home with her mother until her marriage in  1898

 Letter from the National Children's Home [Abridged]

" Edith lived at our London Home until emigrating to our Canada Branch in Hamilton in 1890. She was described as an 
honest, good tempered, spirited child. She was placed as a servant in the home of Rev Dr and Mrs Cochrane at Brantford.
She was very keen to train as a nurse, but was not accepted because she was not tall enough. It appears that she then worked
at our Hamilton Branch until the late 1890s when she returned to England for a short while in 1898 and visited her mother.                                                                                                                                                   During this time she worked for a while at our Alverstoke Branch on the South Coast, looking after crippled and delicate children,                                                                                                                                     returning to Canada and getting married to Edgar Mott in 1899. She last wrote to National Children's Home in 1956, with the help
of her daughter , Mrs S W Jefferson. Bessie was then living in New Westminster and was  aged 84."

The Distinguished Service Medal

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

The medal is awarded to Chief Petty Officers, Petty Officers and men of the navy (or army and air force personnel of equal rank serving with the fleet) who show themselves to the fore in action, and set an example of bravery and resource under fire, but without performing acts of such pre-eminent bravery as would render them eligible to receive the Conspicuous Gallantry Medal. (Return )

 

 

Mentioned in Despatches (Return)

During a campaign, a commander in the field wrote back to his higher authority informing them what was happening - who had attacked who, how many casualties had been received, what was the effect of his latest manoeuvre etc. He also mentioned officers and soldiers who had carried out a gallant action or who rendered distinguished service. To be so mentioned was to have been "Mentioned in Despatches

The despatches were usually printed in the London Gazette, but up to the Great War, being mentioned in a despatch did not result in the officer or soldier receiving any visible mark (for example a medal) to show that he had been mentioned. It was only after the Great War had finished that it was decided to issue a small bronze oak leaf  to any officer or soldier who had been mentioned in a despatch. This emblem was usually worn on one of the medal ribbons that he had been awarded.
