Title: Cullen College Perranport
Post by: Meliora on Wednesday 08 September 10 15:08 BST (UK)
I would be most grateful for some help with finding any information about Cullen College, Perranporth, Cornwall

The Newell family, part of my matermal line, all lived in & around he Bermondsey area of London.  Imagine my surprise when I found the mother, Bessie Newell together with her unmarried sister Laura Harriet Minchin, & her son Harold William Newell, according to the 1911 census, living in Perrenporth, Cornwall.  None of the Newell family had any connection with Cornwall.

Harold William, born Mar ¼ 1888 Hackney,  is stated to be 23 years of age & a "student Cullen College"

I have tried various sites on the internet for info, with no success beyond finding there is or was a College Road in Perranporth so I would welcome any info as to just what this college offered.

Many thanks,

Meliora

This can now be closed, with thanks, as I have found that the college in question was the Culham College near Oxford, it had been entered phonetically on the 1911 census.
