Cornwall memories
Mum
My mum was born up the road, part of the Rogers family, very nice Bush Inn.
Many Evenings at The Bush
I have many fond memories of The Bush Inn and the adjacent hall where we used to have dances and events in the 1950s. I returned to visit The Bush about 5 years ago and when I walked in (40 years on) the lady behind the bar recognised me and called me by my first name...amazing.
My Family in Kilkhampton.
My grandparents Tom & Minnie Croucher lived at Cross Cottage (between Stibb and Kilk), their youngest son Derek married Jette after meeting her during the war in Denmark. They lived at 21 North Close Estate for many years but after my grandparents passed away they moved to Denmark with their two children, Susanne and Lynne. I was born in Plymouth but my father insisted my mother, Odene, and myself moved to Cross Cottage soon after I was born because of the bombing. My aunt, Sheila also lived at Cross Cottage, her husband Sam was away in the RAF and my cousin was born, she was Pat Poag but has now passed away age 49 while living in Eastbourne in 1991. I went to Church School when I was four but soon moved into a room with Mr & Mrs Farmer at 4 The Square because it was quite a long walk uphill to school.

The Jeffrey Family
My mother was born in Kilkhampton and I spent many holidays there at my gran's cottage which still stands next to Jolly Cottage at the north end of the village. My mother's sister Anne lives in Bude and she is the last remaing member of the family. She is 91 years old and still going strong!!!!. The family name is Jeffrey and two of the brothers had a well known "threshing" business in the late fifties (1950s). Their names were Jack (John) and Fred. Alas they have both now passed away. Uncle Jack was a fearsome man with one arm and Uncle Fred had lost a few fingers in the threshing machines they used to operate but they were fantastic people. My gran passed away in 1961 and my mum passed away in 1998. I visit Kilk whenever I can; the memories are very precious to me and I am thinking of trying to get a headstone for my mother in Kilk churchyard as I feel that is where she... Read more
Mary Cornish
My gt gt grand mother, Mary Cornish was born in Coombe Valley c 1814 She was married to Henry Harris in the parish church of St Morwenna & John the Baptist on 26th December 1839 The presiding incumbent was Robert Stephen Hawker.
Marhamchurch
My paternal ancestors (Box) owned the iron foundry down by the Bude canal in Marhamchurch until the coming of the railway in the mid 1800s. Many are buried in the churchyard. My maternal grandparents (Nichols) lived in Marhamchurch in the late 1900s and their daughter Phyllis married a farmer (Charles Routley) who farmed at Cann Orchard. I spent much of the war years on this farm. My darling Aunty Phyllis died on Saturday March 5th aged 90.
Mrs C Barker
I have been looking at my parents wedding book dated 1953 and I have found an entry on the guest list for Mrs C Barker from the Efford Down Hotel. My father was Jack Barker and I know he had a cousin Joan from Bude. I just wondered if anybody might have know Mrs C Barker from the Hotel.
