Bob, The record I've seen says she was born at Georgia Croft, but others have told me Pigmoor. The distance between the two is little more than 5 or 6 football fields, so we're dealing with a small distinction. If the lady said she was born at Pigmoor, I'd be inclined to take her at her word. What's certain is that she was baptized at Towednack, which underscores my point that Pigmoor people probably felt much more aligned with Towednack than Ludgvan. The place entered into the parish register probably had a lot to do with how well the clergyman knew the family or of how the family member responded when asked, "Where do you live?" If the response was, "Over past Georgia Croft," then it might have been Georgia Croft that got entered into the register rather than a follow up question getting asked to fine tune the location.
