Hi Chris, I took your book
Hi Chris,
I took your book to Australia for my brother Lionel's 80th birthday present in January - he is the little boy in the picture with my Father, Cyril, and dog Nance.
He was pleased with it but at the same time, like a lot of St. Mawes locals, disappointed that there was not more mention of the Greens and their long association with the fishing and oyster tradition which was their livelihood for generations. I understand that you have named the churches incorrectly. I also query the photo of Cyril Green as a baby - which Cyril Green? Also you could have mentioned the Greens and other families who went from St. Mawes to Australia on the £10.00 package deal in the 50's.
On the whole, a good book which was bought for me for my brother by Frank Brejcha, my cousin, in St. Mawes.
Are we related? I have a great nephew with long hair and his own musical group in Australia and wonder whether it is inherited. Lot of Greens in the Geelong area.
Might meet the next time I am in St. Mawes?
Jannette
