Hi,

Like everyone else I would say Lostwithiel. I live about 4 miles from there so if I can help in any way let me know.

Can someone clear up a place name for me please.
My grtgrandfather, Arthur Emmett b.1861 (gardener) came from St Anthony, but also is listed Bohovrow or Bohortha. Which would it be and also is this place the name of a farm, residence or village?

It's Bohortha - and it's the name of a small village in the parish of St Anthony in Roseland near Porthbeor beach.
