Pulling it all together

I have spent the last year or so working on a book about my Cornish family. I though that it was finished but then I heard from one of my contacts Tom. He has been researching his Pellow family also from St Erth and had heard from a distant relative in Adelaide who was descended from James Hayes eldest sister Sarah Ann.
Rachel James sent through a lot of photos from her family's collection. They are incredible, images I never dreamed I would see and full in a lot of gaps in the story.

These are my great great great grandparents James and Betsy Hayes, born in 1800 and 1801 and photographed in the late 1850s.






 The manuscript is with the publisher and the book will be available in Spring 2019. Any further discoveries will have to wait for a second edition.

Comments welcome
