G'day, Mike, I'ld like to take you up on the newsletter. There is a large plaque on St Agnes Church wall to a John Luke who died on the way back from Gongo Soco in Brazil. I have the will of a Mark Luke who left money for the education of a young girl over there. Was she a daughter? I can't tie any of these into my family. I was born in The Miner's Hospital down Redruth. Thanks for all your very interesting posts.

Many towns in Cornwall have through formal ceremonies, ‘twinned’ with towns in other countries. Often the reason is that there is a historic family, social and cultural connection between the two towns. Redruth has several twins. One town that Redruth is connected to is Real del Monte in Hidalgo State in Mexico. Several years ago Redruth officially twinned with this ‘Cornish hot spot’. A group of people have now joined together to form the Redruth Real del Monte Twinning Association. I’m sure that many Cornish, wherever their family may have now settled, had a relationship with the extraordinary Cornwall / Mexico connection that continues with vigour to this day.

This evening, whilst on my hands and knees (weeding garden) I was struck by a thought. Not a usual occurrence I agree, but I was transported back to the mid 1950s. In those days my mother used to purchase the "English Women's Weekly". It contained a comic strip of Rupert Bear, many advertisements for matron's amour-plated foundation garments, and a smudgy advert for a genuine lucky Cornish Piskey Charm called "Joan the Wad." Anyone else remember? Anyone sucked in? Any matrons sucked in? Joan has made it to Google which may, or may not, be lucky.. B

I suppose that those matrons might have needed "amour-plated foundation garments" according to their circumstances but the possibilities seem to be limitless!
