[cruzie]

My maternal ancestors come from here and I would dearly love for a local to check the graves around the church for family members.
William Thomas Crocker was born in Perranzabuloe in Jan 1866. He had an older brother John, born in Levant, 1864. (died in NZ) There are parental associations with nearby Probus.
Their parents were;
John Crocker died 1877. Not known where.: Is he buried in Perranz... And mother Elizabeth Anne (nee) Moses, died in New Zealand 1909.

Does Perranzabuloe translate into English? What does it mean?

According to Wikipedia, The name of the parish derives from the medieval Latin Perranus in Sabulo meaning Piran in the sand. It refers to Saint Piran (the patron saint of Cornwall) who founded an oratory church in the seventh century near the coast north of Perranporth.
