[fonI’m working on the history of my branch of the Newtons in Cornwall and in particular those who lived in Canon’s Town starting around 1890.
I’m interested in locating specific addresses/names for a number of family locations where only the town is identified. Here is my current list of unknown addresses:
The 1901 Census lists William Fuller Newton (house decorator/painter), wife Sarah Ellen Newton and 10 children living on the Turnpike Road (now the A30) in Canon’s Town.
The 1911 Census lists William Fuller and Sarah Ellen and 5 children, Lelant Town
Kelly’s 1914 lists under Painters & House Decorators - Newton W.F. & Sons, Lelant
William Fuller Newton died 12 August 1920, Canon’s Town, Ludgvan
On a visit by a relative to Canon’s Town in March 1945 while on RCAF leave, only two Newtons were found there; George Henry Newton (b. 1896, d.??) and his sister Sarah Ellen (Nellie) Newton (b. 1892, d. 1970). In a letter home the “House of the Newtons” was described as being in view from the Lamb and Flag and a few minutes’ walk. Perhaps on the A30?
Any suggestions as to where to look further would be appreciated. The Kelley’s Cornwall 1939 edition might be an interesting source if someone has a copy. It’s not available on line or for purchase as far as I can tell. Certainly not handy here in my part of Canada.
