A RETURN JOURNEY.
This coin is dedicated to my great grandfather William Ninnes born in Towednack, Cornwall U.K. Jan 1816 and died in Padfield Derbyshire U.K. in Sept 1889. He was a tin miner and engineer.
Two of William brothers Joseph and Thomas, plus their wives and children, sailed from Plymouth U.K. bound for Australia in July 1848 arriving in South Australia April 1849.
William travelled to Australia about 1853 to see his brothers. He worked with them for some time digging for gold. Wiliam returned to the U.K. (date unknown).
Maria, and her two children, Grace and Jane, the wife and children of Thomas Ninnes died in 1852 on route through Australia....See 'Ninnes Lonely Grave' internet. Both of Williams brothers lived out their lives in Australia.
The aim of the coin is to visit Towednack,Cornwall U.K., where William was born, then to Australia, visiting the town of Ninnes, Ninnes Plain, Ninnes Lonely Grave and the burial sites of Thomas and Joseph Ninnes. Thomas was buried at Spring Farm Cemetary, Clare, South Australia. Joseph was buried at St Marks Church, Penwortham. I Would like the coin to return somewhere near Glossop Cemetary, Derbyshire, U.K.. where William is buried.
Any photographs would be greatly appreciated. Also hold a hope that I have some Geocaching cousins in Australia who will spot this coin.
