Hi Bill, Thanks for your response to my query. You are quite right. A couple of years ago, I had found the death of Thomas Le Breton in another country, so knew that he was not buried in Truro. It also seemed rather unlikely that Ann's body would have been taken from Cardiff to Truro for burial, and this was confirmed late yesterday by another kind person from the list. She was buried at St Dochdwy's Church, Llandough juxta Penarth, near Cardiff, Wales. This information in itself is wonderful to have. Ann's maiden name was Ann Thomas, and there has been some conjecture as to her parents as there were two baptisms on the IGI at the right time. It seemed to me that the memorial inscription for Ann and Thomas Le Breton would have been included on a family gravestone, and hopefully this would give the name of her parents, and Ann's date of birth. I tended to think they were George Thomas and Ann Symons, and this morning, another email included the information from a newspaper article from the Royal Cornwall Gazette that her father was George Thomas. There has been a magnificent response from fellow listers, to whom I am most grateful. Cheers, Deirdre Blunt -------Original Message------- From: Bill Curnow Date: 06/22/10 20:27:20 To: deird@optusnet.com.au Subject: LeBRETON Deirdre, Don't overlook the possibility that Thomas & Ann LeBreton died and were Buried elsewhere, perhaps outside Cornwall. They may simply have been Mentioned in the monumental inscription transcribed by CFHS without having Been buried beneath that stone. I've encountered many instances of people Who were buried half a world away and mentioned, typically with other family Members, on a monument in Cornwall. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL, USA

Deirdre, Every piece helps solve a puzzle. I'm glad that you received enough pieces to fit together and make sense!
