Hi Ruth, Oll an Gwella ( that's cornish for "all the best") and the chap in the avatar is Cornish -- Try Camborne facts on POE that was my first fact I have posted. More Cornish trivia to follow I am sure. RICHARD TREVITHICK is the name. |

Ruth Gregory Posts: 8072 Joined: 25th Jul 2007 Location: USA | Posted at 22:25 on 17th March 2011 It could have been, Vince. I just finished Jane Eyre and so when I looked up Charlotte Bronte` on Wikipedia, it just said Cornwall for her mother's birthplace. If you're sure, you should add the fact to the Penzance page. :-)
