Memories of Cornwall
Unchanged
It's good that Lemon Street has remained unchanged from looking at older pictures.
Although now all the houses are offices.
Tresillian Lorry
I'm restoring a 1934 Sentinel Steam lorry reg. FJ 9904 which was bought from Peamore garages in Exeter by Alex J. Roberts of Tresillian in 1951. I know Mr Roberts kept the lorry for nine years and that the original colour of the lorry when new was a light sand colour. The earliest photograph I have is 1966 when the lorry was parked in a scrap yard. I wonder whether anyone in the area would have any information or photographs of this lorry? Kind regards, John Griffiths.
Clemo's Bus
Hello from London, Canada... I am the descendent of John and Grace Clemo who owned a horse-drawn bus line between Camborne, Redruth, Truro and Penzance. I have a photo of a "square" where one of the Clemo Buses is parked. I always thought it was taken in Camborne but, upon looking at your photos, it is Victoria Square in Truro (where my dad was from - he married Annie Clemo). I can even see the letters VIC on the wall of a building on the right. The buildings on the left side are much simpler (therefore an older photo) but the roof line and chimneys match. How exciting to find that! My printer is not working right now but I will send you a copy when and if I can at a later date. Thank you. Are you familiar with Clemo's horse-drawn bus?
Magor And Menadue Families
In the 1840's Magors and Menadues migrated from Mithian to South Australia, and I am the product of the marriages between the families.
If anyone would like to correspond with me on this page I have more details and would love to learn new ones.
I live in Adelaide South Australia and am visiting Mithian in May 2007 to learn what I can.
Thankyou
Ruth Gates nee MAGOR
My father's mother was a MENADUE
What is The Origin of Mathias?
Hello everybody I want to know what is the origin of the name "Mithian". I did hear that the significance is: Saint Matthias in Italian, but I am not sure, because I can't find any information. Do you know what is the origin of the name Mithian? It is very important for me. If anyone knows, my mail is: xoloxixi@yahoo.com Thank you.
