Yes I did know about the tin mining history of both Devon and Cornwall. I visited several mine sites when we visited the UK a few years back.
This ancestor of mine moved from Whitchurch to Roche, Cornwall and the next three generations of the family mined tin near Roche.
Then one family came to NZ to look for gold in the 1860s and started the New Zealand branch of the family tree.
