A Page full of Mabyn...Having the name Mabyn is quite a wonderful thing and today I learned that we are in baby books no less! Our grandmother was Mabyn Gordon Kean from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The story goes that her mother was reading a book and saw the name and named her from it. That grandmother's name was Addie J. Gordon or Mrs. Richard Cross Gordon born October 1856. I've loved having the name. Admittedly, people have a hard time remembering it if they don't want to. I still have a two people in mind locally that just refuse to remember it. More often than not people do ultimately remember the name because they become interested in you. And once they learn it, they never seem to forget you. (I've surmised those two people that don't remember it aren't truly worth knowing even though my husband thinks they are.) Here are two different Mabyns that both visited St. Mabyn fourteen years apart. The top Mabyn visited on foot. Since we went by car, I venture to say it was a less scary trip since the roads are quite narrow and not well marked in Cornwall. The brochure which we picked up is great and tells of a wonderful lunch we could have eaten had we been there at the right time, however; we learned that people in Great Britain seem to stick to meal times more than we do in the states. We arrived at an odd time due to the train problem and missed lunch. I'd probably be thin if I moved to London because I'd miss all of my meals. (It's a thought.)
