Tin Mining in Camborne
« on: Wednesday 06 May 09 15:53 BST (UK) »
I have a  connection with the Giddy family who lived in Centenary Row W. Camborne - One Louie a tin miner & mother of 3 daughters aged 14, 15 & 16 making fuses in a factory.  Does anyone know which mine she might have worked in and also able to recommend some sources of information that might be of interest to me?
Many thanks, Toby Webb.
