Book Description

Excerpt from Cornwall Parish Registers, Vol. 12: Marriages In the present volume are contained all the Gwinear marriages up to 1812, a collation of the published Gulval marriages with the Bodmin transcripts; also those mar riages solemnized at Madron, Morvah and Penzance which follow upon those recorded in the volume published by Mr. G. B. Millett in 1877. It seems, on the whole, more likely to meet the wishes of subscribers that the contents of this volume should consist of matter which is entirely original than of matter some of which has already appeared in print, especially when it is remembered that both the Gulval Registers published by Messrs. W. Bolitho and G. B. Millett, and also the Madron volume referred to, can still be obtained. The present volume is smaller by a few pages than some of its predecessors owing to the difficulty of procuring a western parish with the requisite number of entries. In the next, which will probably consist of western parishes, it may be possible to make compensation for this. Subscribers will be glad to know that Mr. Charles F. Cole, of Meudon Vean, who copied the Mawnan entries, has finished Budock and has undertaken St. Gluvias for us. The Editors will be glad to welcome similar assistance in other parts of the county.
