  I wish I had one!
A memory of Mousehole, Cornwall

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.

  Year: 1950 The churchyard at Ludgvan
A memory of Ludgvan, Cornwall

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.

A memory of St Buryan, Cornwall

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
