Hi, I discovered this site whilst working on my family history. My family lived around Halviggan in St Stephen in Brannel for generations. (Surname, Martin/Martyn). Many were clay miners or like my G.G. Grandfather Jos Martin, carriers/carters.
I also have an interest in mines of Butte, Montana where my Grandfather, Joe Martin and his wife Florrie lived 1914 - 1920. I have some wonderful old photos of Butte and its mines sent by Grandad back home at that time. I did attempt to interest Wheal martyn Museum in some old photos of my Great Grandfathers Martin and Hambly at work in the mines but got nothing back. Would be interested to share anything on the above. Kay S
