Hello,

I am looking for more info on my Great Aunts who remained in Portloe, Cornwall after her brothers had left for the US. All I have is my Great Grandfather's obituary which names their married names under their husbands. According to my family records, my grandfather's sisters were Winefred and Georgina Trevarton. One married Percy Witter and the otehr a Harold Predgarn. Their parents were Samuel Trevarton and Clementina Rowe.

Their brother's obit is as follows:

OBITUARY Iron River Reporter Aug 19 1957 "Sam Trevarton Is Dead At 66, Rites Wednesday"
Sam Trevarton, 66, died yesterday afternoon at his home on Seventh Avenue in Iron River of a heart ailment with which he had been troubled for the past year.
He was born in Cornwall, England on March 21, 1891 and came to this country as a young man. He was employed in the mining industry and retired several years ago.
His wife died on July 2, 1950.
