Carvedras, Kenwyn
« on: Monday 11 March 19 13:25 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to get a little bit of background information about a relative William Woodley.  He was born in Hampshire in 1849 and became a groom and also a whipper-in.  From census records and the birth/baptism records for his children he moved around quite a bit.
In 1871 census, few years before he married he is shown as living in Carvedras, Kenwyn and as the Whipper-in for B. R. Hunt (his neighbour is a the huntsman). He seems to have been living a few doors away from the Vicar of St George's.
I was trying to find out what the initials "B. R.' would mean. From my research all I can find out about Carvedras is that there was a tin smelter there.
He was only in the Truro area for a short time as in 1874 he marries Caroline Jane Merrifield in London.  Caroline is from Plymouth.
If anyone has any information about Carvedras and Kenwyn and what B. R. Hunt might I appreciate the help

The only one I am seeing is Four Burrow Hunt but don't know if it existed then.  I think that was based around Redruth though  ::)

HUNT HISTORY - PressReader
Web26 Apr 2018 · The full history of the hunt from 1 January 1780 until 1990 can be read in the book Hunting with the Four Burrow, written by Kathryn Pearn. Pam Warren Redruth

I couldn't access the Press Reader, but managed to copy this bit. Hope it helps with your search.
Looks like the modern Four Burrows Hunt is now based near Redruth, but used to be somewhere called Croft West in Truro:
