Camelford, From Outground Mill 1894

Photo ref: 33586

I have been researching my family tree and it seems that my great-great-grandfather was born in St Breward, Camelford.  His name was William J Burnard. His mother was called Ann and his father's name was James. He also had a brother called Thomas. My hope is that someone will be able to tell me more and whether there are any relatives still living in the area. I was in Camelford recently and I must say it's a lovely place. Please contact me if you have any information.

In January 1917, my grandfather, Percy Smith, a young soldier from Australia, was on leave from the Front in France. He visited a family in Camelford, and this is the letter he wrote home to his sister. I would love to know more about the family and the area he visited. ******* Helston Manor Camelford Cornwell Jan 31st 1917 Dear Maud, I wrote to Mother last week - the day after I arrived from France and ...see more
