John Penrose was Anglican priest of the church from 1741-1776.  A number of Acadians lived around the farms of Kerkilliack on the city's (Penryn) heights.  France complained of the treatment of the Acadians, but the English Medical Department said that the charges were "false, indecent, and absurd." </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>      The Acadians were separated from the rest of the working population.  The Admiralty ordered "all the Neutrals are prohibited from working in order to prevent an outcry by the laborers in the towns where they reside." … though some did find ways to work, esp. at Penryn and Southampton.  The Acadians were given 6 sous a day for adults and 3 sous a day for children under 7.  Pretty good money for those days.  The payment of this was irregular.  When the peace came England asked France to be reimbursed for these expenses.  Infant deaths were higher than normal for the first 2 years, but things got better.  The 1762 census showed 149 children under age 7, most born in England.  </I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Falmouth </B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I>      250 Acadians arrived at Falmouth (on the coast of Cornwall) at the end of June.  [1756]</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>     The parish of Saint Gluvias, Penryn, has a register that includes 67 Acadian burials.  The original is at the Cornwall County Record Office, though the CEA has a copy.  A guide to the records was published in Cahier 32, Societe Historique Acadienne, V. 4, No. 2, 1971 in "Le sejour des Acadiens en Angleterre et leurs traces dans les archives britanniques" by Regis S. Brun.  Also see Cahier 30 of that publication (V. 4, No. 4, 1972) for "The Acadian Exiles in England" by Dorothy Winter. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>     La Rochette brought informal word of France's interest in the Acadians to Falmouth on Jan. 25, 1763.  He found 159 Acadians living in poverty.  The commissioner had stopped their financial assistance (which was the same as in Liverpool) in November.  Those not working a trade borrowed money, while widows and orphans begged.  Instead of located in a single area, these </I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Arial" ><I><B>Acadians were lodged around the area in homes of citizens.  This led to a number of younger members becoming apprentices to the English.  No doubt this also led to Acadian/English relationships as well.</B></I></FONT><I>  Needless to say, the Acadians were skeptical of his message and wondered if he was a spy. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>     Eventually, they decided to go to France and  the surviving Acadians sailed to </I><I><B>Morlaix</B></I><I>, France on the </I><I><B>La Fauvette</B></I><I>, captained by Gouran.  Those boarding the ship on May 26, </I><I><B>1763</B></I><I> were: </I></div> <div> <I>1 -
