Graham, St Erth is about 10 miles North of Penzance. It's not a large town more of a small village. Connie in warmer Utah it got to 25 F this morning, we are having a heat wave!!! Interesting! (or confusing!) Has anyone heard of St. Erth?" Best wishes Graham Melbourne Oz
But it does have a main line railway station - in 1963 when Flanders and Swann were lamenting the closure of rural branch lines in "The Slow Train" they wrote No one departs, no one arrives >From Selby to Goole, from St Erth to St Ives. They've all passed out of our lives On the Slow Train, on the Slow Train. But they were wrong - it's still fully functional as is the branch line to St Ives. cheers Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Connie Saunders <dccows@comcast.net> To: cornish <cornish@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:59 Subject: Re: [CORNISH] PRYOR OR PRIOR Graham, St Erth is about 10 miles North of Penzance.

Oy oy! St Erth is a great metropolis. In the 1850 to 1880 period it was populated by thousands of my forebears - none of whom could spell. It has a great website with fabulous records which have helped me sort out loads of rellies. Bern >Graham, >St Erth is about 10 miles North of Penzance.
