Hi David - What a kind offer. I know that my mother, before her death, did a lot of Cornish research and I have the results of that (she investigated Gorran). Could you please tell me what you have on the QUINTRELL surname for Gorran (and the others, too, if there are any). I'm still trying to connect all the Quintrell names I have. Thanks a lot. Elizabeth

Thanks, David, for your fast reply. I'm going to have to trawl through all my Quintrell information to try to see how they fit in! I made a mistake in that it was ST GERRANS that our Quintrells were associated with (and Veryan and surrounding Roseland Peninsular). I was obviously so thrilled to see your post that I didn't process the information properly! Colan seems to be a popular Quintrell (Cornish) name. My Quintrells left Cornwall for Portsmouth to work in the Naval Dockyards c. 1818. Many thanks again, Elizabeth
