Cornwall parish register images - FamilySearch Record Search
 
There are also a couple of Devon parishes included.

Hopefully this link will take you to the database, then click on the name of the county you want and it will give you the list of parishes.

Cornwall parish registers

Wish I had some Cornish ancestors to search for!

:):) Many thanks, KiteRunner! I have found the burial for my 4xgt grandfather Henry Quintrell in St Blazey in 1841! I have the certificate.

Now to find his wife and all the baptisms! Oh, I shall be busy as all my Quintrells came from Cornwall originally.

I've got Jane Quintrell's burial printed off now and I have just printed their marriage entry for 1783!

It is useful, but please don't forget the OPCs (online parish clerks) who, I believe, will still have a useful role to play in helping with research.

The OPC for St Columb & area started me off brilliantly when I was tracking my Cornish forebears with a 5 page email of them going back to 1650!

But its been great to look on familysearch and see the actual entries!

Joy Dean 05-08-10 20:32

It is indeed :)

Just don't want them to feel they will not still be needed - OH is one for a few parishes, I may or may not have mentioned that before.

ElizabethHerts 05-08-10 20:47

Joy, I love Cornwall OPC but unfortunately they don't cover St Blazey where my ancestors were.

Joy Dean 05-08-10 20:52

Ah, more volunteers are needed then :)
Search for Christopher Dean, OPC, and you'll find which parishes he covers, just in case your family come from his area.

I am in heaven, having found and still finding my Quintrells, Daddows, Bennetts et al! I have found a couple of marriages I hadn't got and it is just bliss to have the images.

Nell 06-08-10 17:01

I'm in heaven too, although I am just confirming info I already had, its wonderful to actually see the original entries, and of course there's often a little more detail in the registers themselves.
