Thanks to all for the suggestions I think that Elsie - Mrs Herbert PHELPS is living in The Manse in Roskear. Several pieces of information point the way ... The 1911 Boarding school was a Methodist foundation. In the 1901 census RG13/2194 Folio 29 Page 1. Elsie Pearce then age 6 is living at home - Trelaske, Pelynt (Liskeard RD) and in the household is Lucy JAMES (Visitor, single, female, age 34, born Rise, Yorkshire, Evangelist (Pentecostal League), And I've found a report about the " Cornwall Industrial Settlements Initiative TUCKINGMILL AND ROSKEAR " the website http://www.historic-cornwall.org.uk/ Where it states "The villas on the main road to Camborne had been built and occupied by people from Tuckingmill rather than Camborne (for instance the manse for Tuckingmill Methodist Chapel was here), although eventually they met with the spread of housing moving eastwards out of Camborne." So how can I check this? Robin -- Robin & Margaret McEwen-King, Middletown Farm, Nemphlar, Scotland Fun lamb videos for our grand children and friends at http://www.scottishwool.com/

You can find out where people were living in 1939 from the NHS but it is expensive (£42) and it excludes people still living and I think you may have to produce a death certificate to prove the person is dead.  The Register was compiled to enable the issue of identity cards and ration books.  If you google 1939 National Register you should find a link. I don't know if there are any directories available for that period either online or in a library.  The latest on www.historicaldirectories.org/ is Kelly's Directory of Devon & Cornwall 1914.

Hi Robin If the letter 'k' appears after 'Ros' then Roskear sounds a safe bet, especially with the other clues. Love your site!!
