Place An Order

Author: Edward Martin
Copyright: 2009 5th Edition.

Description: 376 pages, 8.5" X 11" trade paperback, glossy pictorial cover.

Detailed maps, family trees and B&W Coats of Arms and B&W photographs. This combines two books into one volume.

In many parish histories the ordinary people occur as inconsequential extras: mere names that are subordinate to grander themes. In this book the author has given the detailed histories of the families that played an important part in the society of one parish in western Cornwall. As well as chronicling their lives, he has also attempted to look at their social background, origins, inter­relationships and ultimate dispersal around the world.

It is hoped that this work will be of interest not only to those who, like the author, are descended from some of the families featured in the book, but also to more general historians as an illustration of the human element that went into the making of one Cornish community.

Surnames covered in these detailed histories and genealogies are: ANDREW of Stithians, BATH of St. Breward & Stithians, BISHOP of St. Gluvias & Stithians, COODE of Morval, COODE OF Menheniot, Breage & Sithney, COODE of Stithians, COODE of Lansallos, Wendron & Sithney, DUNSTON, DUNSTAN of Stithians, GILL of Morval & Stithians, KNUCKEY of Stithians, MORTON of Launceston & Stithians, ODGER of Mullion, Crowan & Stithians, OPPY of Redruth, Wendron & Stithians, PEARCE of Gwennap & Stithians, PENHALURICK of Stithians, PHILLIPS of Perranarworthal & Stithians, POLSUE of Goran, POLZEW of Goran, Gwennap & Stithians, POLSEW of Mevagissey,  REED of Wendron & Stithians, SARAH OF St. Just-In-Roseland, St. Michael Penkivel & Stithians, SPARGO of Mabe & Stithians, TRELEASE of Stithians, TREVENA of St. Gluvias & Stitians, TREWEEK of Stithians, Truro, Lelant, Camborne & Penzance, TREWEEK of Stithians & Gwennap, TREWEEK of Breage, TREWEEK of Constantine & Redruth, VEALE of Gwennap & Stithians, WHITE of Stithians, WILLIAMS of Stithians & Gwennap, WILLIAMS of Stithians, & WINSOR of St. Gluvias, Wendron & Stithians.
