Thanks to everyone who posted a reply. I've had an email from the Cornwall OPC who kindly had a look through his records for me. He's not hopeful that my Andrew was a widower as the transcriber would be unlikely to leave that out. Down here in Pasty land, extra information like witnesses didn't generally come in until 1812 and fathers weren't mentioned until 1837 (occupations were from 1754). There are always exceptions but they were uncommon enough that the transcribers would have put them in. So its unlikely that a trip to see the Parish Registers would be of any more help to me as all the information they contained would have been transcribed. As he suggested, I'm going to have to do a bit of detective work on dates of births and deaths, and their children, and try to marry all the information up. Well, on with the detective work (actually I love it :) so it wont be a hardship), and thanks again to everyone for their help. Bex x . |

If you google: dade ''parish registers'' You'll see whence comes the great North-South divide on Parish Register info. Christine |

Just in case anyone reading this has ancestors from St. Ives, the OPC for the parish, Rick Parsons, has a fabulous compilation of information at http://west-penwith.org.uk/ives.htm. He appears to be the OPC for all of the parishes in the West Penwith region of Cornwall (St. Buryan, Gulval, St. Just in Penwith, (Uny) Lelant, St. Levan, Ludgvan, Madron, Morvah, Paul, Penzance, Sancreed, Sennen, Towednack, and Zennor) and has similar information for each. Unfortunately, none of my Cornish ancestors come from any of these places. :-( Tim |
