Reading an Address

Can anyone help me in reading the address of Rosalind and George Guy? I am trying to work out if they are mine and if I can read the address it might help me locate where little George was born. I copied the piece larger to give people a chance to see the witting style of other letters. With thanks Elma

It looks like Perranwell Station, Perranwell, Cornwall to me. :)
 
Thanks easy when you know how! Not for me though. Sadly this address isn't helping me find little George's birth. Pity.
Thanks Flook and Jan
 
I got near that but without the correct spelling nothing was coming up when I googled it! Wish they were mine.
 
Did you see that there is also a William Guy on the same passenger list, further down the page, with the same address? I am wondering if he and Rosalind might be the William G.F. Guy and Rosalind M.H. Kinver who married in the first quarter of 1927 in the Falmouth district.

I haven't looked for births for either of them to check their ages. If George is Rosalind's son, though, he would have been born before this marriage, so his birth may have been registered under her maiden name.

On Ancestry there is a tree with a William George Franklin Guy, born in Wentworth, Canada, in 1896 (which would fit with the age of William Guy on the passenger list, and with the initials of the one marrying in Cornwall in 1927). He is shown in the tree as having a wife surnamed Kinver . . . but her first names are Clara Catherine Maud. She is shown as dying in 1925. Was she Rosalind's sister? Might she also have been George's mother? Just speculation, which needs checking out . . .
 
There is a very interesting 1911 census for a Kinver family whose children include a 12 year old Clara and 4 year old 'Rossie' . . . and they're at Perranwell Station, Cornwall (well done Jan and Flook :) )

So it looks like we could be getting warmer. But I need to get an early night, so will have to leave the dotting of the i's and crossing of the t's to my fellow sleuths. Night night.
 
Isn't family history fascinating? Unfortunately my William Guy was William James Guy born in Bristol in 1895. He married Dorothy Morgan in Pontypridd in 1914 and went off with her to Canada the same year. They had two babies in Canada both named William James Guy they died as infants. Both Dorothy and William came back from Canada and she divorced him in 1923.
We have been here before but not for a year or so and I thought I would check anything new.
What happened to my Uncle William I do not know although it is thought he went back to Canada with a new wife and baby? I don't think he attended my grandmothers funeral in 1925 but he was already the black sheep. He was still in the UK in 1924.
I thought when I saw William Guy and Rosalind I might have been lucky but no it seems not this time. If only I could find his second marriage. I'll dream on. Thanks Huncamunca. It is good to rule people out completely.
