Home - The Luke Family of Gwithian and Hayle, Cornwall

JACOB LUKE my great great grandfather was baptised April 24th 1825 in Phillack, Cornwall.
He died at Bristol September Quarter 1892. He was the son of JACOB LUKE and JOANNA LUKE
(nee WHEARE) of Ventonleague, Hayle, Cornwall. Jacob's father Jacob (57), his stepmother (45)
and his half sister (5) all died in the Cholera outbreak in August 1846. Jacob was the grandson of
JACOB LUKE and JANE LUKE (nee COCK) and WILLIAM WHEARE and MARY WHEARE
(nee WILLIAMS)

Burials at Phillack. 5th August-1849 Jane Luke of Ventonleague, aged 5 years daughter of Jacob and Susan Luke (nee Care). Half sister of gt, gt grandfather Jacob Luke. 6th August -1849 Susan Luke (nee Care) of Ventonleague aged 45 yrs 2nd wife of Jacob Luke.step-mother of gt, gt grandfather Jacob Luke 8th August-1849 Jacob Luke of Ventonleague aged 57 years Husband of the above (gt, gt, gt, grandfather)

Jacob Luke married December 1846 at Phillack, Cornwall to ELIZABETH UREN born abt 1826 at either
Perranuthnoe, Cornwall (according to the 1851 census) or Hayle, Cornwall according to the 1871
census. (Elizabeth Luke nee Uren died abt 1897 Bristol) Daughter of FRANCIS HOCKING UREN
and MARY UREN (nee WATTS) of Ventonleague, Hayle, Cornwall. Francis Hocking Uren is a bit of a mystery.
No trace of him in 1841 that I can find.

Above is a part of a larger picture of Jacob Luke that my gt aunts (his granddaughters) gave me about 1978?
Jacob was always talked about by them as a handsome man. Jacob was a lay preacher (at Clifton Parish Church?)
and spoke in a broad Cornish accent all his life. His accent apparently was the cause of my gt grandmother
Matilda Luke calling off a secret engagement to a man called Bellamy from Clifton. Bellamy made a disparaging
comment about his cornish accent on hearing Jacob greet Matilda (in Hotwell Road, Bristol) and Matilda called
off the engagement thereand then. I can't find a Bellamy family on the census that fits the story. My great grandmother
postponed her wedding for a year because of Jacob's ill health according to her daughters. My gt aunts.

Elizabeth was baptised as an adult aged 19 just before her marriage at Phillack, Cornwall to Jacob Luke.
Jacob was a mariner and at one point sold dairy produce around the Cliftonwood area. Details related
to me by his granddaughters.

At one time he had Coffee rooms at St Georges Road near Brandon Hill, Bristol. Jacob died in Bristol
abt 1892. Jacob's mother Joanna Luke (nee Wheare) died in 1832 at Ventonleague, Cornwall when
he was aged abt 7 years. Jacob's father remarried in 1836 to Susanna Care.

Tragically Jacob's father, stepmother and half sister Jane Luke all died and were buried within days of each other in 1849. Jane Luke, Jacob's half sister (a child) was buried on the 5th August, Jacob's stepmother Susanna Luke (nee Care) on the 6th August 1849 and Jacob's father, Jacob Luke senr was buried on 8th August 1849. I assume the cause was cholera.

Why was Elizabeth born in Perranuthnoe? what were her parents doing there?

The Royal Cornwall Gazette, Falmouth Packet, and General Advertiser (Truro, England)
Friday, June 02, 1854 Perhaps this is the way the Luke family moved from Cornwall to Bristol?

Jacob's uncle Samuel Luke born 1816 - 1903 son of Jacob and Jane Luke (nee Cock). Jacob's uncle outlived him by
several years. I wonder if any contact was kept between the Lukes in Cornwall and the Lukes in Bristol? Did they ever
go back and visit?

1871 (living next to the Gall family from Hayle, Cornwall) Their sons Jacob and Charles Luke have left home, Charles is in the navy
at Portsmouth and Jacob Luke junior is married and living with his wife Sarah.

What became of their son John Luke? Are the Gall family related?

In Bristol Street Directory for 1891 "Jacob Luke " Coffee Tavern" 39 St George's Road, Hotwell, Bristol

1889 Jacob had been ill and great grandmother Matilda Taylor (nee Luke) postponed her wedding to Robert George Taylor to nurse him. This was told me by the aunts her daughters.

1892 Jacob Luke dies in Bristol

ELIZABETH UREN great ,great grandmother) was daughter of FRANCIS HOCKING UREN and MARY UREN
(nee WATTS) of Ventonleague, Hayle, Cornwall. Baptised as an adult aged 19 just before her marriage at Phillack, Cornwall to Jacob Luke.
Elizabeth's mother Mary Uren (nee Watts) died 5th December 1851 at Phillack?, Cornwall

UREN Elizabeth D of Francis and Mary 19-Oct 1846 of Guildford Miner A grown person aged 19

Elizabeth died in Bristol abt 1895. Elizabeth and her future husband were brought up doors away from each other in Ventonleague, Hayle, Cornwall and would have known each other all their lives. As well as being distant cousins probably in many different ways as they both have exclusively local ancestry for generations.

According to the aunts (grandfather Sidney Taylor's sisters) Elizabeth Luke (nee Uren) their grandmother was similar in character to their other grandmother Elizabeth Taylor (nee Farrant) who was well known for her dish cloth flickings at her husband Joseph Taylor when she was irritated with him. Elizabeth Luke (nee Uren) died bef 1901 in Bristol.

JOHN WHITE = ELIZABETH of Gwithian, Cornwall BENNET COCK = JANE WHITE WILLIAM COCK = ALICE ANDREWARTHA JOHN COCK = ELIZABETH WILLIAMS JANE COCK = JACOB LUKE JACOB LUKE = JOANNA WHEARE JACOB LUKE = ELIZABETH UREN

JOHN WHITE = ELIZABETH of Gwithian, Cornwall THOMAS HARRY = ANN WHITE THOMAS HARRIS = MARGERY VIVIAN ANN HARRIS = BARTHOLOMEW HOCKING ELIZABETH HOCKING = GEORGE UREN FRANCIS UREN = MARY WATTS ELIZAETH UREN = JACOB LUKE

It seems that Jacob and Elizabeth were distant cousins. Probably hundreds of times over as they both have up to date
exclusively Cornish ancestry. No idea if they would have been aware of their cousin realtionship. I would also like more
verification of the accuracy of these descents from John and Elizabeth White of Gwithian, Cornwall.

In 1841 the Urens are living one household away from Jacob Luke (Elizabeth's future husband) and next door to Jacob's aunt and uncle Enock and Mary Mitchell (nee Luke) and Jacob's Mitchell cousins. I wonder who is Mary Kneebone? living with the Urens is she closely related to the Edward Kneebone with whom Jacob Luke's sister Joanna co-habited and had her family by? No idea where Francis Uren - Elizabeth's father is either as he is alive until at least 1846 - but dead by 1851. No sign of him in 1841 or 1851 Census.

At the parish church of Phillack, Cornwall on December 5th 1846 Jacob Luke aged 22 a bachelor and Mariner son of Jacob Luke - labourer - resident at Copperhouse, Phillack - married Elizabeth Uren aged 20 - a spinster of Copperhouse, Phillack - daughter of Francis Uren, Miner - married by banns by J M Allen - Curate in the presence of William Harvey and William Harris (both probably first cousins of Jacob Luke)

Children of JACOB LUKE and ELIZABETH LUKE (nee UREN) are:

(1) Jacob Luke, born abt 1850 in Ventonleague, Phillack, Cornwall; died in Bristol abt 1940 at Totterdown? married Sarah Jane Miles in 1870 Oct/Nov/Dec Qtr 6a Page 175 at Bristol; she was born abt 1850 in Easthay, Bristol; Jacob Luke died in Bushy Park, Totterdown, Bristol about 1940? - according to a descendant of his Jacob Luke Junior owned several cottages in Hayle, Cornwall.

who persaded his sister Matilda (my great grandmother) to leave Cliftonwood and live in a new house in St Werburghs,
Bristol a move which my gt aunts did not want to make and were still angry about in old age.

(3) John Luke born 1856. Phillack - no information - assumed to have died young

(4) Mary Elizabeth Luke, born 1858. I think the elderly woman in this picture might be "Aunt Elizabeth" of Clevedon - although this may be incorrect. This picture was I think one that had belonged to cousin Elsie Coggins (nee Luke) it is possible that actually the picture may be of
a Thorne or Coggins family.

There is a Mary Elizabeth Luke aged 29 in 1881 born Hayle, Cornwall working as a Domestic Servant
at Claremont, Chapel Hill, Clevedon. This might be her although the ages aren't quite right The same
person is a servant aged 18 at Queen Square, Bristol in the 1871 Census. The head of household
seems to be a Mr Rowe from Cornwall. Other than that no idea what happened to Mary Elizabeth Luke.
The aunts never talked about her. Did she in fact die young?

(5) Eliza Jane Luke, born 4th February 1860 Bristol, possibly at Welsh Back. Baptised 24th March 1871 at St George's Brandon Hill, Bristol; died December 1938 in Everett, Massachusetts
America; married 4th April 1896 Frank William Hughes he was born abt 1871 at Street, Somerset ; He died May 1945 in Everett,
Massachusetts, America.




Her sister Caroline Luke married firstly Frank's brother Howard Hughes, in Street, Somerset in 1890.
Both Eliza and Frank Hughes were buried at Glenwood Cemetery, Section C Range, Everett, Massachusetts.

(6) MATILDA LUKE, born 28th March 1862 in Welsh Back, Bristol. Baptised 10th March 1871 at St George's Brandon Hill, Bristol .; died 1941 in Gatton Road, St Werburghs, Bristol;
married ROBERT GEORGE TAYLOR April 25th 1889 in Clifton Parish Church. My great grandparents. Robert
and Matilda were buried at Greenbank Cemetery, Bristol. The stone has since been removed. It seems possible that
Robert and Matilda were distant cousins as they both appear to descend from John Vyvian MP for Helston, Cornwall.
The tree below needs a lot more research done on it before it can be taken as factual. Particularly the Vyvyan family.
Also the connection via Jane Hern/Horn needs much more documentation before I think it can be seen as correct.

He was the father of Elsie Coggins (nee Luke) of Railway Cottage ?, Flax Bourton, Somerset , whom I knew well as a child
