Could it possibly be Gear? I don't remember the entry but there were Chapels living at Gear about that time. Gear is NNW of Gulval, in the Bone Valley, not far from Bosuljack.

Cryor or Cryon is in St Just in Penwith. Are we talking about Gulval or St Just? Bob Bolitho On 28/01/2013 7:45 PM, Pat Banks wrote: > Could it possibly be Gear?

Sorry Bob and Pat, I wrote the wrong parish, it should have been St Just in Penwith. It was Peter's daughter Mary Edwards who was buried at Gulval in 1870. Bob, thank you for the information. I assume Cryer was an area of St Just? Leigh

Cryor is a farm about halfway between St Just and Newbridge on the road to Penzance. When it was auctioned in 1928, it was described as being of 19 acres 0 roods and 37 poles situated about two miles from St Just and four miles from Penzance. In 1943 it was occupied by Mr R T Chappell as a yearly Michaelmas tenant. The name was correctly transcribed from the burial register as Cryer.
