Cornwall memories
Mary Cornish
My gt gt grand mother, Mary Cornish was born in Coombe Valley c 1814 She was married to Henry Harris in the parish church of St Morwenna & John the Baptist on 26th December 1839 The presiding incumbent was Robert Stephen Hawker.
Marhamchurch
My paternal ancestors (Box) owned the iron foundry down by the Bude canal in Marhamchurch until the coming of the railway in the mid 1800s. Many are buried in the churchyard. My maternal grandparents (Nichols) lived in Marhamchurch in the late 1900s and their daughter Phyllis married a farmer (Charles Routley) who farmed at Cann Orchard. I spent much of the war years on this farm. My darling Aunty Phyllis died on Saturday March 5th aged 90.
Mrs C Barker
I have been looking at my parents wedding book dated 1953 and I have found an entry on the guest list for Mrs C Barker from the Efford Down Hotel. My father was Jack Barker and I know he had a cousin Joan from Bude. I just wondered if anybody might have know Mrs C Barker from the Hotel.
Friends of Daisy Jackett {jacquet}
Does anybody in the Bude , Marhamchurch area remember Daisy ( my mum ) who lived in Bude / Marhamchurch area, 1940 to 1947. Daisy worked at the Clairmont hotel in Bude, which I think now is a outdoor activity centre.
Finding Mum's Family
After researching my mother's family for four years I found that our ancestors came from Kilkhampton and decided to pay a visit. I couldn't find anything relating to the family so, on a whim, I decided to explore Stratton and found this beautiful church. To my surprise, the moment I walked through the gate, a whole bank of "MAYNARD" headstones stood before me and I was able to complete the little book I had written for Mum to celebrate her 90th birthday, complete with photographs of all her ancestors graves. What a find. My cousins who all live in the London area, could not believe I had found where their middle Christian name of "MAYNARD" had originated from and were delighted to find they had Cornish blood running through them.
The Old Stratton CP School
I attended Stratton CP School between 1969-1975 when it was at Howells Road. The headmaster at that time was Frank Clark who taught me in J6 and other teachers I can remember were Mrs Hicks, Mrs Humpries, Mr Gregory, Mr & Mrs Olson and Mrs Wheatley. Was there a Mr Yelland as well??? As an infant we would have a bottle of milk every morning after succeeding in piercing the straw through the foil top. I also tried to escape one day when I ran across the road and my sister and Mr Clark had to try and persuade me to go back to school. Canon Smith use to take the school assembly once a week and as he walked in front of us, his black leather shiny shoes use to squeak loudly!!
The 11plus exam was abolished by the time I left primary so we automatically went to the Lower school for the first, second and third formers, which was the previous Bude/Stratton secondary modern. This of course... Read more
