Book Description

Excerpt from The First Book of the Parish Registers of Madron, in the County of Cornwall: Edited, With an Appendix and Notes With regard to the state of trade in this locality during the period comprised within this first book of the Registers, we have but slight particulars upon which to base an opinion. The terms merchant and smith occur just twenty and ten times respectively, but they refer more than once to the same individual; and it is hardly possible during all this time that there could have been but one cutler, one glover, one joiner, one shoemaker, or one coffin maker, yet no more are mentioned.
