Campfield Lane and Rosewin Row intersect.
If only we could step back in time. I'd love to know more about the Webb family.

Though Family Search says Penaligan.
My  gggg grandmother was Ann and she had a daughter called Mary, both of which would roughly fit the dates. How interesting.

Now that IS interesting, so as far back as 1841 there was a Penhaligon connection.

I'm also interested in this chap.
My great great Grandmother was Mary Jane Penhaligon (nee Davey) It seems she married James Dawson Webb in 1900. Her first husband Samuel Penhaligon died in 1892.
I have found their marriage

And I found the a newspaper report of a James Dawson Webb who died in 1927 in Gunnislake.

As everybody else has found he seems to be a difficult one to track down. His date of birth seems to change more often than his wives.

The Common Room / Re: Searching for Susanne Penhaligon, Burrows, Gregory

Yes indeed. It is all very exciting. It turns out that Suzanne knew she had sisters but had no idea how to find them. She is also very excited. She and her husband flew from Scotland to Cornwall to meet us. It is amazing how much we have in common. She had very little family, so is delighted to find one.

And we've met her.
My mum has a new sister.
