I found some Cornish language family mottoes that might be of interest to anyone having these names in any of their lines. My Cornish is very weak so any translations would be welcome!!! I do recognise the Gwavas one however, "In Summer remember Winter", a saying I have heard in my own family (in English not Cornish sadly). Rag y Matern ha’y Pobel (Grylls) and the people. Karanza whilas Karanza (Polwele) Love works love? Frank ha Leal etto ge (Godolphin) ? Re Deu (Bolitho) God rules? Bosco Pascho Karenza Venza (Boscawen) Easter? Bethoh Fyr, ha heb Drok (Cardew) good bad Cala rag Whethlow (Carminow) ? Dre Weres agan Dew (Glynne) with God En Hâv perkou Gwâv (Gwavas) In Summer remember Winter Car Dew drês Pubtra (Harris of Hayne) ? God for everyone? Kens ol tra Tonkin, Ouna Dew Matern yn (sic.)(Tonkin) First...Tonkin... God ?
