At this time Brian Jewell Stella Rogers and Ronald Jewell were living at, 11 George Street, Truro, Cornwall.
Redruth, a town and a parish in Cornwall. The town stands on the West Cornwall section of the G.W.R., at the junction of the line to Perran Arworthal, 9½ miles SW of Truro, and 311 from London. It has a post, money order, and telegraph office.
Redruth is conjectured by some antiquaries to be one of the most ancient towns in England, and to have been originally called Tre Druith, this signifying "Druids' town." It is believed by less sanguine writers not to have originated till after the division of the county into parishes; was for some time called, and is still occasionally called, St Uny; appears to have been built around a chapel dedicated to that saint; seems to have acquired its present name by a corruption of Tretrot, signifying "the house on the river's bed;" is situated chiefly on the side of a hill, rising to the altitude of 414 feet, amid a dreary tract of country, bare of vegetation and strewn with rubbish, but remarkably rich in mineral produce; consists chiefly of one long street, carries on extensive trade in connection with neighbouring mines of tin and copper, and is the seat of county courts. It has a bank, two chief inns, a town-hall, public rooms, a masonic hall, a market-place with a clock-tower at the entrance, a theatre, a literary institution, a school of art, an extensive brewery, safety fuse manufactories, an iron foundry, and publishes two weekly newspapers. The railway station is on the hill, and the railway in its neighbourhood passes along a lofty viaduct.

Truro, a market-town, a municipal borough, and a diocese in Cornwall. The town stands at the head of a creek of Falmouth harbour, with a station on the G.W.R., 295 miles from London, and 8½ N by E of Falmouth. Acreage of municipal borough, 190; population, 11,131. The borough includes the mother parish of St Mary, with a population of 2500; part of the parish of Kenwyn, with a population of 5473; and part of the parish of St Clement, with a population of 3158. The Cornwall and West Cornwall sections of the G.W.R. join at Truro, and also the branch from Falmouth. The borough was declared a city by the style of " the City of Truro in the county of Cornwall" in 1877; it returned two members to Parliament from 1295 until 1885, when, by the Redistribution of Seats Act, it was merged in the county.

I've not heard back from your regarding the England Project check-in. I've sent two messages to you previously. I hope you are ok.
One of the requirements for England Project membership is that you respond to the check-ins. Requirements can be found on the England Project page. I've gone ahead and removed you from the project. We are sorry to see you go but you would be most welcome to rejoin via the G2G sign up post at any time.
Best wishes,
Susie, England Project Leader :-)
I sent you a message a while ago on behalf of the England Project Leaders and have yet to heard back from you. I hope you are well.

Best wishes,

On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Cornwall. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current team and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Susie, England Project Leader :-)
I'm glad to hear it! Please let me know if there's anything that I can do to help in the future.

On behalf of the England Project Leaders we're carrying out a check-in to see how all the members are doing and taking the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work over the past six months. We have been so impressed with the way everyone has rallied together and gone the extra mile to make this one of the most dedicated, productive and friendly communities on WikiTree. What are you enjoying most about being in the project? What would you like to see improved or changed? Would you like to continue in the project moving forwards?
We're looking forward to hearing back from you,
Susie, Gillian, Wendy and Amy
Congratulations on being Pre-1700 certified!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, coordination is essential. Thanks for joining the England Project.
