User:DuncanHill/Cornwall People

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is extremely unlikely that I will complete this - but the list is retained as it has been linked to from other talk pages.

This is a page for people connected with Cornwall who have articles in the ODNB, but who are not yet represented on the Wikipedia. I shall arrange them by relevant institution or subject. Some people may appear in more than one list. The aim is to turn all links blue.
