Frank and Joyce were married in Salisbury Methodist Church in about 1946.
They had 4 children -
Janet,
Andrea Frances,
Patrick Stuart and
Anthony James.
The family was closely involved with St Keverne Methodist church until they left to live in Salisbury in 1963.
I was in contact with Frank Rule until his death in Salisbury in August 1996 - we corresponded about the Rule family tree for several years.
I am still in contact with his children Janet and Anthony, both in Salisbury.
This particular Rule family probably came from Breage (James born 1800) was the son of Oliver Rule and Elizabeth (nee James) who were married at Breage on 8 September 1793 Frank thought that the family had its roots in Camborne but had not found the link at the time of his death.
