The reg district was Penzance and the subdistrict was called Marazion. There would generally be a registrar for each subdistrict, so people wouldn't have had to trudge to Penzance uless that was their subdistrict. There were 7 subdistricts to Penzance district: Hayle, Merazion, Penzance, St. Buryan, St. Just in Penwith, St. Ives and Uny-Lelant.
In the early days the registrar came to you anyway; it being their responsibility to collect the info, unless you felt inclined to be a responsible law abiding citizen and visit the registrar with your good or bad news!
