Where is "Greencombe, Calstock"?

[Brentor boy]

I am trying to identify the location "Greencombe, Calstock" recorded on a 1932 birth certificate.

I note that there is a Greencombe Wood near Gunnislake. Can any one suggest an alternative for my consideration?

From genuki.org.uk there is a Greenscombe 4 miles NW of Calstock (map ref SX390720) and another Greenscombe (and a Greenscombe Farm) 5m NW of Calstock (map ref SX380730)

Thanks, Shirl.

Looking at the location you have found, it is a bit difficult to associate it with Calstock, being closer to both Luckett and Gunnislake. However other sources suggest that the place I am looking for would have been closer to Gunnislake than Calstock so, unless someone comes up with an alternative, I will stick with this. Perhaps Calstock parish had an odd configuration.

It's not Danescombe, is it?

As this document seems to be in geographical order rather than alphabetical order, it may give you an idea.

An email to the current Parish Council might bring results too:

Thanks, Phyllis and Graham, for your suggeations.

 I have now had it confirmed that Greenscombe, to the north west of Gunnislake, between Latchley and Luckett, is in Calstock parish. I am satisfied that that is the location I am looking for.
