Carn Bosavern (long row) ... behind St Just Garage

During World War 2, I was evecuated at 25 Carn Bosavern from 1944-45 and spent the most miserable months of my life there.

I was born in Carn Bosavern in 1942, moving to Fore Street 2 years later. I have happy memories of spending time "up Carn" as a child, as my granny still lived there. My parents had evacuees before I was born, mum told me many stories about those years, and how traumatic it was for the children leaving their homes and families.

I have very fond memories of all around this area, I lived down Nancherrow, in the house behind the shop that I believe is now a craft /art shop, I left in 54 to live in Australia but now live in New Zealand, my Aunty still lives at Carn Bosavern !!!

In the late 1980s I fell in love with St Just and especially Carn Bosavern. Now I live in this row, walk straight along this pathway..... Cottage cold and damp. But bliss!!

My Grandmother, annie Tippet Reseigh lived at 26 or 27 Carn Bosavern with her brother Jack andsister Olive and their parents at least up until about 1912 - can anyone help me trace what happened to her Father John Reseigh - I think he must have died before 1916

There's a burial for a 40 year old John Reseigh of Carn Bosavern on 6 Oct 1909
There's a GRO death index to match ... 1909 Dec Penzance 5c 161

looks like Sarah J Reseigh remarried in 1st quarter 1911 maybe to a Thomas W Hills
