Cornwall memories
The Penponds Woods Fire
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!!!
1960's
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.
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
Richards Family, Treswithian Downs, Camborne
I am trying to trace some details about the Richards family, in particular Edward Richards, in 1851 he lived at 70 Treswithian Downs and in 1861 he moved to 25 Treswithian Downs, he was a miner. He had a son, William Morley Richards, who is my grandfather, he lived at 25 Treswithian Downs, he was aged 13 at that time. My grandfather had a sister called Elizabeth Ann Richards, Philipa Mary, Susan, Caroline, brother John, Peter and George Richards. If anyone knows anything about the Richards family or has any old maps or photos of Treswithian Downs please post any details to this website!
Walking The Dog
When I was about 14 the A30 by-pass finished at Treswithian and my sister and I used to walk our dog beside the huge pile of earth where the by-pass ended, I also remember a little later, walking him on the then unfinished continuation of the road to Hayle.
Looking For Friends
I am looking for my friend Rosemary Saundry, married to a William Williams, also Jeanette Saundry, married to a Michael Hurston, and their sister Mavis Saundry. And also Anne Polglaise. Could anyone give me information on these friends? Thank you so much.
Hayle Coppersmiths
The Cornish side of my family (Penberthy's) came from Hayle and were mostly all coppersmiths and engineers, apprenticed in Ventonleague I believe, but like many of the Cornish, they had to leave for a better life elsewhere at the very end of the 19th century. My great grandad was a skilled coppersmith and upon moving up into England made copper parts for boat engines and fixed ships out at sea when they were in trouble. I would like to know more about this side of my family
