Bible find is link to the past

New Zealander Tom Joll (right) with his wife Penny (left) and Brian, Celia and Emma Lessiter.

A NEW Zealander who came to Camborne on a voyage of discovery on Sunday was overcome with emotion when attending a service at the parish church.

For Mr Tom Joll was aware that centuries earlier his forebears had been baptised, married and buried at the church.

All of that history would have been unknown to him had it not been for a chance find by a young Camborne man who discovered a Bible bearing details of the Joll family tree, on waste ground.

Mr Adrian Lessiter (23) took it home to his father, Brian, at College street, and the search began.

Finally the Joll family were traced and the Bible was delivered. Now Tom and Penny Joll have been visiting places where their ancestors lived and played — including a house at Union street, where Mr. Joll's great great grandfather, Thomas, lived in about 1850.
