Connecting Cleavers: A Family Reunion in Padstow
A family surname change connects Bath to Montreal, while a visit to Cornwall brings me together with a Cleaver relative in Padstow to share stories and compare family trees.
Cleaver
My Cleaver connection comes through my 2× great-grandfather, Joseph Lucas Cleaver. Born in Bath, he dropped Cleaver and used his mother’s maiden name, Lucas, when he moved to Canada. Here I share stories and discoveries connected to this part of my family.
