| Henry PASCOE married Grace IVEY at Sithney 24 Sep. 1796. Was her father Richard Ivey and her baptism date 8 Aug 1769 or was her father Thomas IVEY and her baptism date 19 May 1772. Richard IVEY's wife was Elizabeth PASCOE and Thomas IVEY's wife was Alice RUSSELL. Can anyone help me to sort this puzzle out please? |

| This is a fantastic site. I've discovered, after a very long while searching, my 3xgreat grandmother and her parents and siblings. Admittedly it wasn't obvious - her surname EATHORNE has interesting variants HOTHORN and HAWTHORN. Without the baptisms and burials I would never have worked this out. |

| I have found some very interesting information on the Halligey family from St K and Coverack. I would be interested in hearing from others with a similar interest. The Halligey's went to Falmouth but have died out in both places. |

| I have read ancestors of mine were once Vicars for St K. Church. There were 4 generations of them all named James Pascoe starting in the early 1700's...your Bapt section holds some clues, one seems to have been married to a Dorothy ? Any one out there with more info on the Pascoes of Trevassack line, is welcome to write me, Thank you, David |

| A 1940/41 evacuee says Hello! One of six lucky lads who, after an all day and seemingly endless journey from Enfield, were chosen in the Church Hall by Mrs Williams and taken in her carriage to live with her at Lanarth. The equivalent today for a young boy would I suppose be like going to Disneyland in Florida, it was another world to must of us. I will be forever thankful to the Williams family for their embrace, and to the St.Keverne people of that era who looked after us all. I am 76 now and cannot imagine there are many left who experienced the early war years with us. However,better late than never that I express our thanks, even to your long gone relatives, for willingly accepting us into a sincere community and a beautiful setting. |

Congratulations on you escellent website. I visited St Keverne and the cove beyond Rosenithon in August 2000 to see the Manacles Rocks on which the "John" was wrecked and where my wife's great great grandfather's brother, Thomas Pincombe and his entire family were lost. There was family lore about a brother (Thomas Pincombe) lost in the Atlantic and in 1991 I was directed to the report in the North Devon Journal by the helpful archivist (a Mrs Schnetzler) at the North Devon Library/Record Office in Barnstaple. Subsequently, I found an article in the Illustrated London News with an account of the wreck of the John, together with an artist's impression of the foundering ship. When we were there (St Keverne) I purchased the last copy of a booklet on St Keverne in the Church, but set it down in the Churchyard to photograph the Manacles and forgot it. Do you have any reprints of that booklet? If so, I would be pleased to purchase it. Thank you.

My grand aunt Mary Elizabeth (Polly) Potter baptised Preston, St John, Lancs., on 2 Sep 1866 eventually married William Mildren a blacksmith in the Helston District 1906. Your excellent website in the St Keverne burial records shows William was buried 20 Mar 1913.
They had one daughter,Mary Jane (Janey) Lawrence Mildren born Dec 1/4
1906.
Your published burial records of St Keverne show Janey was buried 29 Mar 1982 at age 75. Regrettably the Potter family of her era had also died by that time and contact was lost.
Janey was probably the only daughter, she did not marry.
Polly was alive around the 1930's and I have one photo, also one of her as a baby but no clue as to her demise or why a Lancashire girl came to marry a Cornish blacksmith.
Janey's last address copied was Roskowell, n'r Helston, T.P.O. near the Pilchard Inn.
I would be delighted to hear from anyone who can fill in the gaps of this intriguing match.
I have Polly's full ancestral background |
