My grandparents were the Janes who lived in the South Hill School house for many years and I was born in Callington, daughter of George Jane and Jean Standing. I've been living in the US since I was 14 (1966) but my daughter Kerenza visited South Hill this summer with our cousins and was given a wonderful tour of the church. I actually have a picture of her sitting at the organ that my mother used to play and my grandfather hand pump. I want to thank those who put the parish records on line as I've been able to trace the Janes and the Mitchells back many generations. I hope to come back and visit myself someday - I actually have a secret dream to retire to Cornwall, I still consider it "home" as my best childhood memories took place there, many hours being spent wandering the fields, woods and lanes around South Hill and playing in the hay barn at Brocks' farm.

This is the first time I've looked at the South Hill website and it appears to be a lovely area.
According to her baptism certificate my paternal grandmother Ellizabeth Lark was baptised at Lanteague in the parish of South Hill on the 14th November 1856, the daughter of John (a miner) and Rebecca (nee Allen) Lark. The minister's name is undecipherable. Can anyone tell me where or what "Lanteague" was, please ? Was it a farm or a house. I don't know what religious denomination they were and can't find the event in parish registers for the area on the website. Can anyone help please. Many thanks.

I love Cornwall. Visited there some years ago with my husband & 3 kids and stayed at a fabulous b&b in Golberdon. I returned for another visit with my mother 3 years ago and stayed at the same little b/b called "Kaedeen". Feels like home from home...the hostess is Irish and the host is from Golberdon itself - a perfect mix. Hope they're still there when I plan another trip...www.keadeen.co.uk and thanks Parkyn family.

Hello to all in South Hill. My great great grandfather, Richard Male was married in South Hill parish in 1843 to Susanna Tregear. He was a shoe maker as was his father William and his son Richard. He died in 1860. Thankyou for the web site. Anyone wishing to share family tree information please contact me [email protected]

I would love to know if any one has any pictures of Lower Manaton farm, which is located on South Hill Road, South Hill that they would be willing to share with me, My husband's grand father Joseph Lawry Rickard was born there in 1868, he came to Canada in 1909 , but his brothers Walter Lawry Rickard born 1870, and John Frederick ran the farm until about 1944, then a cousin by the name of Ken ? Uglo had the farm, regards from Marjorie Rickard

Just to say that I am doing my family history and my great grandfather, John Squires was born in Southill in 1840. I am trying to find out exactly where he was christened. His father was Gregory Squire and mother Elizabeth Squires. I was wondering if there are any Squires of any relation living in or around Southill.
Kindest regards
