I wish I had one!
This town is where my ancestors started to spread far and wide, beginning in 18th century or thereabouts. Some distant cousins still live there, I'm sure.

Great/G Grandmother Mary Maddern
My G/G Granmother's parents were married in the St Buryan Church on 31st Oct 1814, they were Richard Maddern & Mary Bennetts. I visited the area in 1997 and found it beautiful. I live in Rutherglen Aust. The old Madderns came to Australia with their children and are buried in Ballarat Cemetery. 2 of their sons were sadly killed in a mining accident in Ballarat. My G/G Grandmother Mary Maddern married Martin Edwards Trezise in St Just and migrated to Australia. Mary Maddern was also born in St Buryan. From Gillian Pitcher, Australia

The churchyard at Ludgvan
My father, Joseph Martin and Ruth, my mother, are buried at Ludgvan, together with his parents (Joseph and Sarah). The latter died in 1949/1950 and had lived at Castle Gate (Badgers Cross). My father attended school in Ludgvan and worked as a journalist pre-War and until 1952 on many local papers including The Cornishman, in Penzance, sometimes writing under the pen-name of John Penwith (Leaves from a Cornish Notebook). There are many references to Ludgvan in his writings. As a toddler, I lived at Trezelah and went to school in Gulval.

Extracts From Paul & Cornwall books
Paul is the mother village for Mousehole, which lies down on the coast below. Regent petrol is served at the village garage on the right, and a single milk churn stands on a wall opposite where it waits to be collected for the creamery.
An extract from from"Cornwall County Memories".
Situated at the top of a hill, Paul is the mother village for Mousehole down below. The churchyard has a
memorial to Dolly Pentreath, the last speaker of Cornish, and the church contains a memorial to the heroic crew
of the Penlee lifeboat, lost in a disastrous rescue mission in December 1981.
An extract from from"Cornwall Living Memories".
The Hotel has a fine cloak of ivy. Tregenna Castle is still one of St Ives’ best known hotels, and now boasts a golf course amongst its many facilities.
An extract from from"St Ives Photographic Memories".
The putting green lies above Porthminster Beach. It was here, on rough sandy banks, that the St Ives pilchard fishing boats of the 19th century were drawn up clear of the beach. St Ives Station can be seen directly behind the boy in the foreground.

A view looking along St Andrew’s Street to the Parish Church of St Ia. The church was built in the early 15th century using granite quarried from sea-level cliffs near Zennor, a few miles west along the coast. The granite was carried by boat to St Ives.
