Looking For My Ugandan Father Circa 1959
I am looking for my birth father but unfortunately have very little information and am hoping that someone who was at the college in 1959, or who have relatives that attended the college, may be able to help. I was born in April 1960. My mother was trainee nurse at a nearby college and attended student dances where she met my father, a Ugandan mining student at Camborne mining college. Apparently he was a wonderful ballroom dancer! I was the result of their very brief affair and unfortunately as regards my father's identity we only know that he was Ugandan. I travelled to Uganda in 2003 and was given as much assistance by the Ugandan Ministry of Education and the Ugandan Department of Mining as they were able, but without a name it has proved pretty much impossible to identify him. If anyone has ANY information, as small or irrelevant as it may seem, please get in touch with me at amandalugg@hotmail.com Thank you. Posted: 28/07/2008 00:05 by Amanda Lugg |

1960's A memory of Penponds, Cornwall In the 1960's as a little boy my dad, mum, little sister and me visted the grandparents in Penponds. They were known as the Laity's, Efe and Les Laity, and the Rodgers were next door, a big family. Last edited: 04/07/2007 12:49 by Stephen Brown |

Year: 1976
The Penponds Woods Fire A memory of Higher Penponds, Cornwall I think the year was 1976, can't remember exactly but does anybody remember when Penponds woods caught fire. Penponds general stores was still open at the time and can remember a friend buying Spangles from there before we all went to see what was going on with all the fire engines. I think it was a Sunday afternoon during the August holidays when this happened. Would love to hear from anybody who remembers this and what their memories are for this or any other memories of Penponds in the 1970s when it seemed life was so much easier!!!

St Day Evacuee - Lost Memories A memory of St Day, Cornwall I too was one of the London evacuees taken to St Day school to be selected by a villager; Miss Murton a shop owner took me into her home. Miss Murton gave up her shop with the rationing and coupon counting. Can anyone tell me, please, where we came from in London at the time of evacuation for I have no memory before the day I was taken into Miss Murton's home? I can remember no other children either. I do remember Miss Batty's shop and a St Day family, the Lanyons. A few years ago I went back to St Day and Miss Murton's shop seemed unlived in but still had her name over the shop. I was lucky for she and her sister Mrs Manley were kind and patient with their small evacuee. I would be so pleased to have some gaps filled in if you could help.

Uren Genealogy A memory of St Day, Cornwall My wife and I visited St Day in September 13th 2004 to find where my Greatgrandparents lived. We found the house where GreatGrandmother died - 24 Scorrier Street. After searching a lot of St Day for anyone who might have know of either of them, we did find a couple, the gent was a nephew of a lady that was a good friend of my GreatGrandmother. They showed us some of my Grandparents furniture that was left to them in their will. They also sat down with us and talked about my GreatGrandMother. We wanted to talk more but had a cab picking us up in a hour. They told us were she lived and died, so I took a picture in front of the house, I will always have it. I hope to visit again, it is small town but with so many nice people, they sure help us with Genealogy. Ray Uren Last edited: 28/01/2007 19:55 by Raymond Uren |
