Re: Thomas Family-Portscatho,Cornwall

Hi, Suzanne,
I have a small book by Hilary Thompson called :A History of Gerrans 1800-1914, Part 1 Farms and Farmers".  There are numerous references to the Thomas family:

The earliest reference so far for the Gitchard family in Cornwall was in
1547, where Elizabeth, widow of John Gitchard, held a house and 5 acres within
the hamlet of Treliske and also a house and 3 acres at Beghanken, another hamlet
in the Duchy of Cornwall Manor of Tewington. In 1562 John and Elizabeth
Gitchard held Treviska and Beghanken in the Manor. Elizabeth was succeeded by
Richard her son in 1584 and he in turn was followed by his son Luke who farmed 2
tenements in 1591.

Cornwall’s Vegetable Calendar

Vegetables are an important crop for farmers in Cornwall.  The largely frost-free winters means crops can be grown in the fields all the year round. Locally grown vegetables eaten when in season taste better, are more nutritious and stay fresher longer.  This is a guide to vegetables grown in Cornwall throughout the year. Click on a particular month to take a closer look at what’s available then.

The main crop of Cornish potatoes is harvested in August and September. As potatoes store well, they can be available for sale all year round.
