Gran And Granddad
Granddad helped to build Landreath Place, mum and her family moved into number 55, where both grandparents lived till they died. Also there was other family living in this street, my great grandfather John Renowden, my great Aunt Elsie Renowden, great Uncle Les great Aunty Gladys, great uncle Sid Bishop. all sadly passed away.Landreath today looks almost the same except the speed humps, miss the little sweet shop, loved the smell when we used to go in. And the chip shop was out of this world, remember gran sending me down to buy a bowl full of chips for our tea. Top of Landreath used to be a farm (Now all houses) was a short cut to Spit beach, right next to Par. So many happy memories of St Blazey, always feel like I have come home, my sister now lives in this street now.

RE: RE: Gran And Granddad
I do believe that my great grandmother came from St Blazey. Her name was Carolne Snow. She was born in 1863. According to the little information I have she appears to have married a Samuel James Taylor (my great grandfather) in 1880. He was from Liverpool.
I would be very grateful if anyone who has links with St Blazey or recalls the Snow family could provide me with more information that would assist me with my research.
Thanks,
Kind regards,
