Thanks

Thanks for adding CCRO links to Cornish places. Very useful! === Vernon White (talk) 22:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I think they are worth the large amount of time it's taken me. They should hopefully provide some useful source material for some of the pages, and if not, then there's a lot of interesting information on the online catalogue. Cornovia 22:21, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Just like to add my thanks too - it's excellent to have links to proper archives, and well done as well for your public-domain photograps, it's a very generous and helpful resource. DuncanHill 23:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Duncan. More than happy to do my bit for the land that I love and for its sublime history. Cornovia 23:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Situate/situated

Chambers Dictionary has "situated" as the first listed meaning of "situate". As someone who tends to use the spelling "shew" where many others would use "show", I applaud you! DuncanHill 22:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC) p.s. Good to see you back.

Thanks Duncan. I love the word situate, and am quite partial to the odd shew too. I guess it comes from studying thousands of legal documents. Cornovia 22:43, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Notes to self

Rewrite the Rashleigh page you lazy git. Cornovia 23:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

High sheriffs

Going to bed now. Sorry to conflict. Noz da! - Vernon —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vernon39 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

S'ok. It's my fault for spending so long editing the page. Am adding a few at a time now instead. Cornovia 23:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

PS - I have a list of Sheriffs 1938-1978. Will add any missing ones later. Cornovia 23:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hope you are well

All the best for Christmas and the New Year - would be great to see you back here when you can. DuncanHill (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Duncan. A happy New Year to you too, as to Vernon also. I have been adding a few bits to the High Sheriffs of late (from archives held at the RIC), as well as adding to the Charles Thomas biblio from the index cards at the RIC (especially as he's our Honorary Librarian). Will be trying to continue with this, though am currently also helping with a book on Roman and Greek coins for the RIC, Charles' new book (excellent!) as well as two of my own and a number of other projects; so time is quite precious at present.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Cornwall/Members

Hi, you used round brackets like these () instead of wiggly ones like these {} around your name - wasn't sure if it was a typo or deliberate! DuncanHill (talk) 02:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Typo I'm afraid. Will correct now. Thanks for letting me know. Cornovia (talk) 02:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

You may be able to help

Hi, one of my projects is to write something on the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society. John Ralfs, Jonathan Couch, Richard Quiller Couch are some of the people associated with it, and some of its collections are now at Penlee House. I have a few links under "John Ralfs" on my page User:DuncanHill/Cornwall People, but would be very grateful if you know of any further sources. Best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 22:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Duncan. Will do my best to help. I have most of their Transactions (journals) at home and also some other ephemera, letters, photos, typescripts etc by or relating to the PNHAS. Established 1839. In 1845 the President was John Paynter, Vice-Presidents were The Reverend J Buller, John Batten and J Trembath. Other members at that time included Richard Quiller Couch, Joseph Carne, C B Borlase, J Boase, J J A Boase, E H Rodd, J N R Millett etc, many of whom were solicitors in Penzance. By 1850 President was Joseph Carne and new members included T S Bolitho, The Reverend Canon Rogers, John Scobell, Augustus Smith and Edward Bolitho. By 1862 President was Edward Hearle Rodd, Vice-Presidents T S Bolitho, J J A Boase and The Reverend M N Peters. Newer members included Thomas Cornish, William Bolitho junior, Samuel Higgs junior, Humphry Davy and the very talented but ill-fated John Thomas Blight. The later Transactions of the society give full lists of members so I'll try to scan, ocr and send you some. Examples of members from 1891 are Lord St Levan, Thomas Robins Bolitho, Sir John Lubbock, Sylvanus Hanley, The Reverend Charles William Boase, Ralph Hacker Bodilly, Thomas Bedford Bolitho, John Langdon Bonython, Caroline Borlase, Walter Henry Borlase, The Reverend W Colenso, Leonard H Courtney, John Alfred Fox, Carew Davies Gilbert, The Reverend Prebendary Hedgeland, The Reverend H R Jennings, The Reverend W S Lach-Szyrma, Charles Day Nicholls Le Grice, Ernest D Marquand, Robert Hawker Preston, George F Tregelles, Arthur Pendarves Vivian etc. William Copeland Borlase was President for a while, I think in the 1880s. The Courtney Library at the Royal Institution of Cornwall, the Cornish Studies Centre and the Morrab Library should all have full sets of the Transactions. Cornovia (talk) 14:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - lots there to be going on with! DuncanHill (talk) 21:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Have just made Edward Hearle Rodd from the old DNB entry - and I see here that he was a PNHAS man too. Hope you are keeping well, DuncanHill (talk) 03:30, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Fortean Wiki

Hello!! I saw you has been posted a topic with this Fortean Wiki´s link... You made this site?!

Best regards

Lightwarrior2 (talk) 20:49, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Lightwarrior2

I did make the site, though have not had many members yet. The site can be edited by anyone whether or not they are a member, so hopefully material will begin to get added.

Best wishes,

The Cornovia Press

Just a quick note to say that if anyone needs a page reference, quote or similar from any books published by my imprint, The Cornovia Press, then just send me a message detailing what you need. I also have a library which contains, amongst many other things, somewhere between 400 and 500 different books on Cornwall (as well as hundreds more digital copies), mostly historical, so it's possible that I may be able to help in providing references and quotes from these too. Please also note that I don't live in Cornwall any more, and therefore I no longer have access to materials held at the Royal Institution of Cornwall and Cornwall Record Office.
