Title: Landithy Institute,Madron
Post by: oh carolina on Thursday 21 June 07 08:41 BST (UK)

Is there anyone around that that can tell me anything about Landithy Institute or where i can find anything out about it.

I am trying to find out about my great grandfather and on a death cert which maybe him it states that he is caretaker of Landithy Institute.......there are no other clues as to whether it is him or not so i was wondering if there would be any records i can look at,

thanks
Karen
