SHALLOW ADIT

An Adit is a nearly horizontal passage from the surface by which a mine is entered.

The "hamlet" of Shallow Adit is a small area along the B3298 between Scorrier and Mount Ambrose but is not available on the map. Shallow Adit can be found heading from Scorrier towards Redruth and is the area around the Texaco Garage where there is a row of small cornish cottages. It is possible that one of these houses is where the Bray family lived.

All children born to Thomas Bray b1791 were born at Shallow Adit and Jane Trevena's mother Ann died at Shallow Adit (ie Thomas' mother-in-law).

Mary Ann married Francis Magor on 24 September 1837 at Gwennap. Francis Mag
or was of full age and a bachelor whereas Mary Ann was a minor, being age 19. Francis was living at Poldice (near St Day) and Mary Ann at Carharrack with her family. Both fathers were miners.
