This one is complicated.\u00a0 Rebecca and Bethany have found a distant Burrow relative and I played a small part in it.<\/p>\n

\"JCBurrow-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last summer while looking for something else I found the photo above.\u00a0 It was taken by my grandfather’s uncle, J C Burrow, exactly 100 years ago and is of of an ancient church in Cornwall.\u00a0 J C Burrow was an early photographer and was one of the first to take photos in mines.<\/p>\n

\"JCBurrow-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the back is some information about the site.\u00a0 I emailed it to Rebecca who was in York with an offer to fund a trip for her down to Cornwall to find the church and whatever else she could about J C Burrow.\u00a0 Before she went my brothers Tom and Matt\u00a0 contributed more information and many more scanned photos.\u00a0 And it turned out that Bethany, Tom’s daughter, had made a previous expedition to Cornwall and had lots of information.\u00a0 Armed with all of this data, a rented car and a few friends she headed to Cornwall. \u00a0 She couldn’t find the site of the church but did visit the Royal Cornish Museum and one of the docents told her about a woman named Rosemary Richards. \u00a0 She is a granddaughter of J C Burrow and sometimes worked as a volunteer at the Museum.<\/p>\n

Pretty cool but it gets better.\u00a0 A few weeks later Rosemary showed up in York to visit Rebecca.\u00a0 She wrote down her mailing address on a piece of paper along with a sketch of the family burial plot in Truro.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m going to send her a postcard and perhaps sponsor another expedition.\u00a0 Any volunteers?\u00a0 You may have to go soon because Rosemary is quite old.<\/p>\n

I can’t explain why, but it is very nice to have found a distant relative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
