Hi
My Australian grandfather was Henry Gummow his family was from Truro - so when I visited UK in 2006-8 I was able to follow up the family
I went to Gummows shop crossroads and took some photos for my mum.
There is a sign identifying the corner where the Gummows blacksmiths stood
I also went to Lemon street Truro and saw the the housing went from great Georgian Mansions right down to small miners cottages now demolished.
It is well documented that my ancestors were miners who immigrated to Ballarat (refer Gummow luggage in miners cottage at Sovereign Hill) I enjoyed the seeing the chimneys around Red Ruth region.
I have some photos that I took in Cornwall if you are interested.
Cheers Sharyn Reiffel
