Teresa Thankyou, are they likely to show parents place of birth etc or just the basic info. Would a marriage have taken place at the Bride or the Grooms local church do you know?

Thankyou for that but before I write I just wondered what info they were likely to have other than the obvious baptism? marriage etc.

Perranmaid Records from that long ago have to be kept, by law, in proper storage conditions and are unlikely to still be in the Church. I have heard other members say on here that you have to get in touch (write) to the Archbishop of the Diocese concerned, to access any information. OC

I don't think the R/C Church release their records , so they may be still with the church....

Would the local church keep records of the whole family i.e where they where born etc. or just their current location and current events. We are talking approx 1867. As I am not familiar with Roman Catholic church any info gratefully received.
