Cornwall memories
Memories.
My mother ran Burraton Post Office from 1950 to about 1990 and sold Frith postcards. The cows are being driven by Mrs Cook, a farmer's wife, whose farm was about 300 yards behind the photographer in Liskeard Road, Burraton. The farm was called 'The Elms'. The farmhouse is still there, but is now an old peoples' home called The Elms. The farmland has been built on.
Burraton Post Office
Hi Bob. I remember your mother behind the Post Office counter. Your cat used to regularly attack our dog as we passed your front gate on the way to Burraton Park. We both went to Saltash Grammar School in the late fifties. I lived with Mrs Richards at 382 New Road a matter of a couple of hundred yards away near what used to be called the Coronation Inn and later was renamed the Rodney. Roger's shop was further down New Road from us. I believe it is now a Spar Store.
Nanny Cook
The lady driving the cows was my great-grandma Nanny Cook and the little girl in the photo was my mum.

I am trying to locate relatives that might have info. His father's name was John Willcocks. I am also trying to locate my grandmother's family, her name was Olive Sutton. My father said, when he was a child he would run to the mailbox to pick up a letter from his grandmother and drop one off from his mom. This went on for as long as he could remember. I am hoping that maybe just one letter has survived. I know these letters would be filled with family life and about her four sons that were her pride and joy. This would have been about 1930, as my father was born in Gunnislake in 1921. My father died this last summer at age 90. He always wondered about these letters, I feel bad that I waited so long but it would be nice to have something from... Read more
William And Ann Bloxam
Does anyone have any information about William Bloxam of Moditonham, who died in probably the 1860's? His wife Ann (nee Burnett) died there in 1837.
William Steed - Pub Landlord 1860-1880; Sportsman's Arms
I have traced my ancestor William Steed and wife Anne Steed as landlords of Sportsmans Arms Inn Notterbridge in 1860s for twenty years, living here with nine children and John Doidge, lodger, and servant Sophia Burnett aged eleven. William Steed was born in Menheniot 1824 and wife Anne 1827 also. When the family left the Inn they went to live in Newton Abbot, Torquay. William and Anne Steed are my Great, Great Grandparents. William at aged fifteen lived and worked as a servant in Fore Street, Saltash.
