    16 Sep 2024
    I thought I would tell you about my experiences of merry meeting I stayed for my holidays from 1950 until Dorothy Trussell left the smithy my children also stayed there and have happy memories I remember going to the toilet up the garden with slugs and snails ,aunty Dorothy boiling water for us to have a wash and to wash the dishes .we only have a few photos .aunty Dorothy was a lovely cook she loved having visitors she was a W,I member and had meetings where they dressed up with best dresses and big hats for it. Uncle Charlie worked at Falmouth docks as well as the smithy

    Impressive amount of research

    My forbears - the Trengoves were at Merry Meeting for many years before John Trengove emigrated to Ballarat Victoria Australia where he continued to work as a blacksmith. Other Trengove family members also emigrated to Australia. Our line moved to New Zealand when John was killed by a horse. My family found the history interesting and a great resource for future researchers. I visited Merry Meeting in 2004 and met Leonard who was welcoming and interesting. He generously gave me a horseshoe dug up from the grounds. Amazingly I was able to bring this family Taonga into New Zealand and it currently features in an exhibition of heritage items which have personal meaning to their owners.

    Hi Wendy. We remember your visit and being thrilled to meet you and hear about your interest in family history. I am pleased the ancient horseshoe made it to New Zealand. Leonard

    interesting but too technical

    I enjoyed reading about the history of the Forge, but, my main criticism is, instead of giving dry census records, I would rather have the author use that space to highlight the lives of the people who lived there. Two or three would have sufficed. I realize info might be hard to come by, but this, in my opinion, would have made the book much more interesting.

    Thank you for the comment. I totally agree and it was something I planned to add but realised my attempts would be mainly fiction. As I say at the end, any input or elaboration of the facts would be very welcome. Leonard
