From what I recall, the name of the last monoglot Cornish speaker, Dolly

You are wrong. The harbour master at St Ives told us on Friday, along
with a very big delegation, that Dolly died recently and that a boat
was named after her.

Now, you 'recall' or you just google as usual. Do you have opinions for

If you listened to the harbourmaster as well as you read posts on here, your
confusion is easily explained. Even in Cornwall, 1777 is hardly 'recent'.
