Hi all, I came across the linked picture recently in a book called "Victorian and Edwardian Devon from old photographs" by Brian Chugg.



It is obviously from the same day as cath's at #191.

In the book it say's the bride is Sally Penfold and her groom an Orchard and that the man second from the left is her father-in-law, Joe Orchard - this is at odds with the note on Cath's.  

The ackowledgement in the book says it comes from The Museum of English Rural Life at Reading University so I got the link for the picture from there.

You can go to http://www.reading.ac.uk/merl/commercialservices/merl-imagesandreprographics.asp and click on "Browse our online database" on the right hand menu and put Penfold in. Amongst the other things it finds is the same picture of James Penfold's brush wagon which Cath also has a copy of

Hi Debs

re: post # 208

I knew a William Barron from Mevagissey who was my dad's cousin so must be the son of the William Barron that married Sphia born 1902. He died 3/4 years ago and has a son......who's name fails me at the moment but I can find out....and was married to auntie Tish.....I'll can find out her maiden name also if it's any help but I expect you probably have it .

Hi cathayb

My Chris P was definately buried in Truro in 1959, before I was born, but I've been to his grave many times (always a bit wierd when it the same name as yourself and your dad) and I was at the funeral when my Granny Ivy (his wife) was intered with him in 1981.

Chris.

Hi again Deb,

I'm not sure of the way things are done on here but obviously most people discussed are long departed but I only really know about my fathers brothers and sisters and their kids etc. who are mostly still alive so is it best to send you details via a message?
I think I will for now.


Chris

Wow - that's fantastic!

My father is a Christopher Penfold too, and guess what, so am I!

I will have to habve a good read through this thread later and try to fit it all together as I've only briefly skimmed it so far, I'm on my lunchbreak at work. I though the photograph of the wedding was brilliant and am kean to to find out as much as possible as I have only recently started looking.

Hopefully I can ask you some questions later if that's OK?

Chris
