Memories

Anna Lerryn 35 posts. Sep 1st 2009 20:17 Report Abuse Can anyone help? On 22nd August Eric Gower emailed as follows: "I am interested in finding out more about relatives who lived in Lerryn in the 20th century. I have researched a much as I can online, but of course after 1911 things get rather sketchy. I spent a few hours in Lerryn this week. Someone we met in the village suggested the website and having had a chance to look at it, I thought this was a useful suggestion. What I am looking for is any further information on James May, my great grandfather (bootmaker in the early 20th century), who lived near the arch, his children and step-children (James and Emmeline Collings) and their mother Ellen nee Swiggs. I am not expecting anyone to do any research for me, but if there were anyone in the village either with a long memory or with documents that would help, I would be very grateful to be able to correspond.. I am intending to make a trip to Truro Record Office (from Southampton where I live) in the near future but it would be very good to go armed with as much infor as possible. Many thanks. Eric Gower eric.gower@gmail.com " There are also some memories from R G Milford aka "Rozel" that appeared on the news page of this website - see 2nd August "Response to Portrait of Jack Barker" I'm sure many other people, like me, find these little bits of local history fascinating. Can you add anything? Last edited by Anna on 01/09/2009 at 23:00:02

Debbits 1 post. Dec 15th 2009 20:44 Report Abuse Wow, what an absolute gem of a website. I visited Lerryn last Spring and was amazed at the sheer beauty of it. My family was called Bonney (James Hill) etc who used to live at Prinzey/Primsey and was also a blacksmith in the village in the late 1800's up to 1950's. If anyone has any pictures or information i would be most grateful to receive. Thank you for sharing Lerryn with everyone.

AnnieS 36 posts. Aug 10th 2010 21:18 Report Abuse Hello, My name is Duncan Hendry, I have been looking through your archive photographs as I lived and went to school in Lerryn in the 60s. I have come across a couple of old school photos that I am in and wondered where I can get a copy, the photos of the regatta really bought back some great memories and I would like to say thank you to the people responsible for putting these photos on the Lerryn website. Many Thanks Duncan

AnnieS 36 posts. Aug 13th 2010 21:42 Report Abuse Posted on behalf of Rosemary Saunders Davies I at last went to the Lerryn website and looked at some of the photos. They are splendid and I had a few minutes of real enjoyment but particularly when I GOT TO THE RECENT PHOTOS and FOUND A LOVELY LAUGHING PHOTO OF David AND MYSELF AT THE CHARITY PARTY OF LYN AND ROB DRESSED as tramps etc. It left me laughing for quite a while. Thankyou
