Hi Bill, Thanks for the info. Yes after many questions I located Pigmoor some time ago and a cousin of mine actually visited the remaining cottage. It was two cottages joined together to make one. We know for sure it is the right place as a stone marker is at the entrance with Pigmoor engraved. I am just curious as to what sort of industry is connected as there are ruins nearby with a clear running spring. I am assuming Clay but certainly not sure. Question: I know Grandmother Jemima was from there but does your record know she was born there. She was baptized Towednack 7 Oct 1868 a year plus after birth 1 May 1867.----Thanks again---Bob Marhenke On Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:50:36 -0500 "Bill Curnow" <wjcurnow@kernow.com> writes: > Bob, > > Pigmoor is actually on the Ludgvan side of the Red River, although > it is > often referred to as being in Towednack.
