Tresmarrow immigrations

"The Dawe family emigrated to Canada from Tresmarrow circa 1908, taking with them the ‘screaming skull’. The skull was returned to Launceston in 2001, and is now on display in the Lawrence House museum."

From  Jim Edwards on the Launcestone Then website.

The Lawrence House Museum website doesn't seem to feature the skull, though a visitor reviewing the museum on their own website (It's full of old stuff) says "Both the delights and frustrations of this collection are epitomised by the display case containing a chunk of bone which, so a label tells us, is what remains of 'The Screaming Skull of Tresmarrow' - but offers nothing of its history or nature!"
