The House with Twelve and a Half Chimneys. At last I have read an account of Treneere Manor and its last inhabitants by someone who knew it and had visited. My GGGrandmother was Eliza Jane Polglase ( Joseph's sister). We had always wondered how Joseph had got the money for Treneere! I have been unable to find any records of him going to California and now I know. Did he go with his brother John? Joseph has been described as a seafarer, but again I can find no evidence for this. Do you have any ideas.Presumably all the information you have is from Reginald Symons. Did he keep a market garden? Do you know of the existence of any photographs of the inside of the house or indeed any of the Polglase family? I know the contents when sold went for hundreds of thousands of pounds. Anything else you can tell me would be most interesting as that Polglase line is now extinct -apart from me-and very few people are around who would have remembered the house and those who lived in it. I can't find any resting place for Joseph or his wife, Sarah Carne - They're not in the family graves in Lelant. I have an uncle who remembers visiting the house as a small boy but he's now 92 and really can't remember anything. Thank you once again for solving my mystery and hopefully you or somebody out there can answer my other questions.

| Great Website- Revisited again, Family from Rugeley to N.Z. in 1874. Family history done 60 yrs ago, by Aunt. writing to Rev. H.A. Ainsworth, Vicar of the old parish church in Rugeley, who passed it on to Mr. Walter N. Landor, who had collected all the parish records and old civil records, who voluntarily copied out every entry in the Parish Register.My family name is Smytheman, of which there is mention of them in this website. The family at one stage, in 1745 became the landlord of the "Sign of the Star" Inn Rugeley. Also several years later, in 1774 a son, also became landlord,until 1778. The name of this Inn, was changed, some time later on and became known, just as the "Star Inn". |

| I visited Chasetown this week to research my great grandfather David Barber. He was a miner at the colliery. He married his wife Sarah Ann Plant at St Anne's Church, Chasetown in 1889. It was great to visit and I felt quite emotional. If anyone can help me here, it would be appreciated. |

Great work - My Nan Elsie Brothwood born in Hednesford in 1910 - came into town with her Coal Mining family from Wolverhampton. They did move around pit to pit looking for the best wage and conditions I assume!
In 1911 her Grandfather Edward is at Ironstone Rd. Chase Terrace, BURNTWOOD!
Cheers! |

 I'm very pleased to hear that this Website has been awarded a "Highly Commended Certificate" by the Family History Group. It certainly merits it now with such a variety of Menus you can visit about the Burntwood area Villages and with their multitude of photographs. I'm sure that persons with an interest in the Burntwood area, past & present, can find several hours of pleasant perusal by logging-on.
May your good-work continue. |
