Can anyone help with making out the place of residence of Matthew
Growden, who married Christiana Pope, in this marriage record?

Comparing with other capital letters in the document, the first letter
looks like a D. The last letters look like eer

A quick look at Google Maps of the area around Bodmin shows a place
called Dunmere so I would assume it is an old spelling and reads Dunmeer

Dunmeer/Dunmere. It's near Bodmin and he's living there in 1841.

Dunmeer/Dunmere. It's near Bodmin and he's living there in 1841.
I have him as living at Scarlett's Well in 1841, and have actually
been there and taken photos of it. Dunmere seems a bit further west,
now that I've found it on a map.

Matthew Growden and Christiana Pope (born Dyer) were my great great
grandparents, and if anyopne is interested they can read more here:

with photos of Scarlett's Well.
