Records

At the present time George & I are working with the help of others to transcribe the Parish registers that are not already covered by the LDS site and we will put them on line as we do them. 

The Cornwall Record Office agreed some years ago to the photographing of the parish registers by the Church of the Latter Day Saints. Some of these have been transcribed and placed on the LDS web site for the use of on-line  researchers. Each of these records has been allocate a  Batch Number and Hugh Wallis has created a web site which allows you to do a speedy search  for any name which appears on the register in that particular time frame. Also included are the records of baptisms which took place in some of the non- conformist Chapels. These are listed under the parish where the chapel is/was located. 

 On the LDS site (Click here)   you will find the baptism records for Gwennap for the years 1674 to 1772. We are endeavoring to make available the years from 1773 onwards (see below) and as we transcribe the registers we will enter them on this site. 

In 1833 St Day became a Parish in its own right and the records from this date onwards became separate from Gwennap. The Online Parish Clerk for St Day is Fran Pillsbury, who may be reached via Email.

Good luck with your research.
