Thanks again - I went off to look at Familysearch's online Cornish parish images and found Christopher's baptism and that of his elder brother. On Christopher's baptism entry the rector has added his death - 1828!

Nell, I checked the Online Parish records and it is 1828 on there too. I expect whoever transcribed thought the 8 looked more like a 2.

Day Month 03-Apr
Year 1828
Parish Or Reg District Little Petherick
Forename Christopher
Surname BALL
Age 76
Residence Trevillider OTP
Notes Entry includes a lengthy unclear note by Rector
Transcriber Notes Abode should be Trevillador

I use this site a lot for my family before looking elsewhere.

Thanks Daphne! I'm now having a trawl through the registers, my interest having been reawakened!

These registers are fantastic, Nell! I have had real success with my Cornish ancestors as the parish registers are online, and also with my Lincolnshire ancestors, thanks to Lincs to the Past.


One little note:
When you first posted this thread I thought your ancestor's name was "Christopher Ball Cornwall" rather than "Christopher Ball of Cornwall" or "Christopher Ball, Cornwall"! I started doing searches for a man with the surname "Cornwall" - and there are a few!

My mistake! Sorry Elizabeth. I'd alter it if I could - and also put his dates in!
