1. [CON] 1887 Newspaper [1]
This is the last extracts from 10 Jan 1887 issue. Happy Hunting... Rita Bone Kopp, OPC St Stephen In Brannel and Julia Mosman, OPC St Austell -- The West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser, Monday, 10 January 1887 Strange Accident At Falmouth - A remarkable accident happened to Mr. JENNINGS, a carpenter, residing at Falmouth, on Tuesday. He was walking in his garden, when he found himself slipping, and the exertion he made to prevent a fall caused a dislocation of both knee caps. The dislocation is the more ex
2. Re: [CON] Photographs [1]
Geoffrey, I wasn't suggesting anything as exciting as Masonic-type secret codes, I'm afraid! It was just that, in most of my photos of couples, the woman is seated and the man standing but I have one couple where the female is standing and leaning over her companion slightly and I thought it looked unusual. Then I remembered what I'd heard and wondered if there was any truth to it. It might have meant it was an engagement picture instead of a marriage one. It seems there weren't any secret conventions

Hi Roger, I don't know if the word has got down there but at long last the British Government has agreed to award a medal to people like yourself who served in the Suez campaign. And before anyone else says it I'm sure it was deserved for more reasons than the runs.

Hi Peter, Many thanks for the book recomendation and giving me those extracts, I think I am going to have to put this on my book list, as it is lobsters that will hopefully be caught not just crabs - or so my daughter tells me ! and she won't know how to cook those either......

9. Re: [CON] Changing Terms [1]
I particularly dislike the term "base child of..." as it seems like a very poignant predestined yoke of inferiority - judged by our modern day standards. But these were not modern days and we have to keep reminding ourselves of that. I hope that some "base" children lived to overcome the stigma of being a "child of a single parent."

Alfred Levell, the superintendent, Mr. Fryar having spent several years
11. [CON] Cornish Nicknames [1]
I have been very interested in the discussion of names which has got me thinking of Cornish nicknames. An article in the West Briton which appeared in 1883 says that nicknames were often used because there were so many people with the same name living in the same place. For instance in 1883 Breage there were 16 men named JOHN RICHARDS! Here are some from the list who were known by nicknames, all in Breage in 1883: ARTHUR, John - UNCLE JAN AFTER BAWDEN, Joel - RYEREADY BAWDEN, Joseph - JOSEY CUDLER CARL

14. [CON] Titanic passengers and Crew [1]
On my way to the annual California Cornish Cousins weekend, I visited the Titanic Artifact Exhibit in Los Angeles, and purchased a book listing the passengers and crew. I made an Excel document of 32 on board who listed Cornwall as their residence. If you want me to send this to you as an attachment, contact me privately. There are also Cornish names mentioned in the book that don't live in Cornwall, and I will be happy to check any name for you. Judy San Diego, CA
15. [CON] Back Home [1]
Dear Connie So glad to hear you had another great time. Last time we were in Cornwall we actually got sunburnt in Sandra and George Pritchard's garden. It is wonderful to meet with people from the list and I feel so at home in Cornwall. And we have had our first decent rain for 3 years - washed all the dust off everything and perhaps the countryside will look green for a short while. Pat Mahoney Carnarvon West Australia
16. [CON] Who remembers? [1]
I remember my aunt making her own butter with butter paddles carved with thistles, skimming the cream off the top of the milk from their small herd of cows so we could have clotted cream to eat. I remember my mother and others shrimping with their summer dresses tucked into their knickers! I remember milk still warm from the cow and fresh cooked shrimps caught by our selves. And a childhood free from the pressures that children have today, we had so much more freedom! Cathy

Hello listers, Is their anyone who is related to the Vercoe's that came to New Zealand about 1840 aboard the Timandra, Their names were Philip Vercoe and Catherine Collins. I am a direct descendant of these two and also some generations further back. I have managed to trace back to Thomas Varcow born circa 1620 and married Marie ? and they had eight children that i know of. Does anyone have any info on this family on generations before Thomas and Marie and down to and including Philip an
19. Re: [CON] Date of Death [1]
Angela, A couple of suggestions . Are there other people mentioned on the headstone which can be checked out to ensure it is the same family you are researching. Do the entries in the parish register and Bishops transcripts agree , almost certainly they do, but you never know. And then there are monumental errors, not uncommon. The headstone may appear to be comparatively old but it could have been erected quite sometime after the death - say when a child or the widow died in which case dates may have becom

Hi all! I am new to this list and I have been browsing the message archives, and would like to say that the people on this list seem like wonderful, friendly people. There are no other lists that I have seen, where recipes, and stories, and all the genealogy "extras" are tolerated. Those "extras" are the reason I joined this list. I believe that food, recipes, and different family traditions are an important part of our history, and therefore is a part of genealogy. Thank you all for sharing memories, reci

Hi Althea, My grandmother (Jane Trewhela STEPHENS) was born in Lostwithiel, Cornwall in 1868 and I was only 13 when she died. Yet I remember her saying she was born *outside of London*. She was 4 or 5 years old when her family immigrated to the States and, possibly, did not know where she was actually born. No one was alive in my family when I got this *genealogy bug*! I found her, though, because I knew her father's name was John Trewhela STEPHENS and I kept writing to the Superintendent Registrar from ar
